Virgil H Carr Cultural Arts Center aka: Centre Street Lounge, Center Street Pub,Grand Central Lounge,The Rendezvous

Was when I was working at Blue Cross Blue Shield – we went there for their German smörgåsbord. Future trips were for seated lunches. One of the busiest times for lunch back then was for Tiger’s Opening Day at Comerica Park when it opened.

Was for the Upgrade Fashion Show on December 22, 2006. It is now known as Grand Central Lounge – so watch for it under the new name.

I didn’t know what to expect from this place. I went there for a friends birthday party and I fell in love with it. I don’t think they have food anymore but when I went there was actually some vegetarian selections.. some really good tomato soup and free wireless internet!!! I often went there just to work on animations or video projects on my laptop and sit on one of the couches during the none busy times.. if you go on a thurs/friday/saturday it’s really crowded and loud.. but if you go during the week it’s peaceful and comfortable.
