The 2nd & 4th one are a mystery to me. Topinka's I knew because it is in the photo section of Eileen's newsletter. My brother Chuck (Charley) was bartender @ Topinka's on 7 & Grand River before it burnt down.

I grew up near Hedges Wigwam.  My first grade art teacher,
Ms. VanAlstein painted the Indian Chief that used to sit in front of Hedges.  Today, it is on display at Paint Creek Cider MIll in or near Lake Orien.

Hedges ruled. Went there every birthday (my choice) for their great
chicken pot pie and a maple sugar treat to go.
