...Benefit checks that ensure that laid-off auto workers continue to receive nearly 95% of their usual take-home pay. But SUB funds are rapidly being depleted; at current rates of payout, they could run out as early as May for some workers. The checks are what keep the juke joints along Wyoming and Livernois avenues full and make it possible for many unemployed workers to go hunting or take family trips as if on a paid vacation...
...afraid I consider the music made by these local bands to be nothing but noise at the Emporium, and I feel the same way about the bands and juke box at Charlie's Place, at 1 Bow St. Charlie's serves not particularly good drinks, expensive beer, and is a hangout for local high school kids. I know some people who drink there in the morning and claim it is not too bad before Cambridge High and Latin lets out classes in the afternoon. It also has the reputation of being good for golden oldies and that kind of thing...

The juke box plays Irish songs, the Irish Republican Army is reputed (somewhat more dubiously) to use the place as a sort of unofficial headquarters. At times it has been called a pick-up bar, at others it has been called a gay bar, at others still it has published a literary magazine...
...cooking. Inside the place, a couple of country boys beside the counter or the beer cooler are flirting with the waitresses who make the plates up from barbecue, potato salad, slaw, and hush-puppies, and put the take-outs in shiny paper bags. There's not even a juke box just a little radio playing Conway Twitty or Loretta Lynn or Donna Fargo...
