FAMOUS-BARR SOUTHTOWN (RIP)

What a building!

Streamlined, brushed steel, rounded front, three floors of retail and a cafeteria on the mezzanine.

Once located on Route 66 (Chippewa and Kingshighway) and was razed over a decade ago.

See that FB on the top? I once asked my Mom what the letters meant and she replied, Funny Bones. I was seven years old, suspected she was fibbing and displayed my first stink eye.

Thanks to Kevin for changing this into a JPEG for me.
