Delray’s Abandoned Bank Bar | National Bank of Detroit | Detroit, Michigan

[@chisbang53]

Pleasantly surprised by the food at the Black Horse! Next time I eat there I'll check out the Bank Bar.

[@ThisBuildingMatters]

It's delicious, right! Thanks for checking out the video.

Thanks for watching! I appreciate it 🤙

I enjoy seeing the old neighbor hood. When I go thru I can still remember what it was like in the 70's. Man has it changed, such a same

[@ThisBuildingMatters]

I can only imagine what it was like back then. I wish more folks took pictures 😉 Thanks for checking it out!

[@freakadore]

Love your work!

[@ThisBuildingMatters]

Thank you for the support, Chris!

[@PinetopJackson2]

I highly recommend the birria tacos at Black Horse Cantina. As a bonus, after you eat, you can leave your car parked there for an hour or so while exploreing Delray!

[@ThisBuildingMatters]

Good call, Pinetop! I'm normally on a bike when I'm in Delray, but I'll note that for the future. The food is spectacular!

I've been past there so many times. I used to work on Clark St. and I live downriver. I preferred my 'scenic route' of W Jefferson over the Fisher any day. This was during the Angels of Delray days, with some really neat artwork displayed.

[@ThisBuildingMatters]

There are still a few angels hanging around, Mary Jo! There's one at the Carbon Athletic Club and another on the commercial block at Jefferson and Cary. I know where there's a stack of them...but I'll hold onto that info for now 😂 I'd love to see them make a comeback.

[@DenmarkL-j5v]

@@ThisBuildingMatters I lived near there for a couple years, at Luther and Denmark. And my dad used to bring home kolbász from the Hungarian butcher in Delray. But I don't know about the Angels of Delray. Maybe you could do an episode on that.

[@ThisBuildingMatters]

Not a bad idea 😊 Thanks for sharing!

[@toddmcgowan9449]

Great job! I really appreciate the research you do to provide a historical perspective and bring these old buildings to life. I really hope some entrepreneur will take you up on renovating them!

[@ThisBuildingMatters]

Thanks for checking it out! 🤙 I hope that we see more of these places saved in the next five years or so. We're very close to losing another round of awesome buildings!

[@tonywestvirginia]

Love your channel. I was born and raised in Flint.

[@ThisBuildingMatters]

Thanks for checking it out, Tony! I was born in Flint and raised in Genesee County. I hope to do some videos up there at some point!

[@TheKillerPop-up]

I know its a sketchy spot but this reminds me of the Guardian Detroit bank on Burt and Fenkell on the west side. Beautiful building

[@ThisBuildingMatters]

I love that corner--two stunning banks at one intersection! Thanks for sharing.

[@DetroitNinja]

Save the front facade. Don’t demolish it.

[@ThisBuildingMatters]

I am hopeful that the entire thing can be saved...but who knows!

[@CrockbackColumbo]

The chickens and clams have been biting my electrical wires again.

[@damon9408]

There's no muggers, cause there's no people. Scaredy cat

[@ThisBuildingMatters]

Where do you want me to go then, Damon? 😉 Thanks for checking it out!

[@damon9408]

@ThisBuildingMatters I wasn't responding to you, I was responding to another person's comment. Love the vids

[@ThisBuildingMatters]

@@damon9408 Ah, that makes sense! Thanks for the support 🤙

[@simgamer313]

Damn EHerg, you are a brave man to be walking around in that part of the hood. I know it's daytime. But, damn. I wouldn't. Scary area nowadays.

[@ThisBuildingMatters]

I spent a fair amount of time in Delray and have never had an issue. Honestly, I rarely even see people when I'm documenting things in Delray. Just big rigs 😂 On foot, by bike, or in a car, it's never an issue! Thanks for checking out the video 🤙
