RE: [313] Motor Rumors

Ok, let me quell some rumors.

Seeing that my room mate (the hostess with the mostess..) works at motor I
can say that motor moving is a rumor PERIOD and last time i looked (which
was friday) Dan still owned the place.  I am sure if they were going to move
they would announce it and if they did have secret plans that no one knew
about I am sure they would not have dropped 10 grand into redecorating the
place last  month.  BTW, to answer someone's question about new years in
Detroit bars: from my understanding, bars can stay open on NYE until 4am.
Other than NYE, bars can stay open till 4 am in Detroit if they have a
kitchen but (obviously) can only serve till 2.  They are several places that
use this loop hole, such as space {dryheave}, but I don't know if this is
true in Hamtramck (were motor is).  Also, regarding the police:  Hamtramck
is so broke that they can hardly afford police atm (they are in the process
of deciding if they want to dissolve the police dept in the city and hire
wayne county sheriffs instead) so seeing more than one patrol car in one
place at the same time usually mandates a large explosion or dead bodies.  I
have been going there about every weekend for the last 8 months and never
saw any cops waiting for people outside.  On a side note, Hamtramck is WAY
sketchy so if you are going to park far from the club do yourself a favor
and dont walk alone, it seems that anytime anything happens within 15 blocks
of the motor the club is blamed for it.

Quoting now--

 Motor is surrounded by a residential neighborhood so
it makes it very hard to stay open past 2am. The
boomboomboom flowing to outside from indoors makes it
hard to be sneaky too. You have to have a special
permit (which costs more mula) to have a closed bar
and remain open past 2am. You really can't make that

--

On a side note, I hear Motor is being moved to the old Moose Lodge
building downtown, and this is why they remodeled (to move the old
decorations etc to the new spot).  Does anyone know if there's any truth
to this rumor?  I also hear that one reason that the change is happening
is because motor was bought out...  anyone know if this is true, and by
whom?

I can second that.  I've only been to Motor once for the Epoch party on 
NYE 2000, but that certainly was an experience (and not just because of 
the party).


Catching a cab late at night in Hamtramck is near impossible.  A bunch 
of us had to wait in the convenience store at the gas station there for 
almost 2 hours for a cab (at 4am).  In addition, the gas station 
attendants said they had to lock the doors and turn off all the lights 
earlier that night because someone had fired a gunshot at the store.  
Even the cab we caught was sketchy (the cab driver was racist and didn't 
seem to notice red lights too well, someone had puked or _something_ in 
the back seat, and the wheel alignment on the cab was so out of whack 
that the driver had to keep the steering wheel turned 90 degrees in 
order to drive straight... no joke).

I had the opposite result when I was at the Motor this summer.  Gene
Farris was listed (but as far as I know never was there), and whoever
was playing bored me to tears, so i went to the Clock for late/early
breakfast and went out and flagged down a taxi within 3 minutes.

I never really thought of Hamtramck as scary.
Any city that has a monument of the Pope is alright with me.
Ive never had any problems around motor, granted I havent 
been there in a while. ah well.
I think its that fear of Detroit spilling over into 
Hamtramck.

2cents.
