Junque Shop Antiques in DETROIT

I've been meaning to stop into JUNQUE SHOP ANTIQUES on Michigan Ave in Detroit for ages.....either get side tracked or their not open. Well today was the day.....Joe offered a free cup o' Java and some great conversation.

 Unique store...many smalls & regional artifacts...

The basement is the home to more architectural paraphernalia....
A place that I will frequent more often now that I know Joe's hours!

    Unbelievable sad story I too used to frequent the store. The owner and I had done years of business. He had two lovely daughters both at premium colleges...he also was proud of the weight he lost. He was a stickler to prices and was cheap as chips but I liked him. The unfortunate things about owning a business in the hood of DETROIT he was robbed beaten and killed over nothing a few bucks and some idiot didn't even know antiques...just a JUNKIE....so if anybody reads unless new owners carried on the Michigan Ave tradition...

    The guy who owns it now is a retired Detroit Firefighter. Comical guy...said he kept it open as a place he could hide from his wife all day! He gives out free coffee....to potential customers & street walkers alike. He told me not to be shocked when any came in for a free cup of "Joe"....sure enough a young lady walked in ...poured herself a cup....said "Hello" to him & went on her way. I'd check it out more often but I can never tell when its open!
