“Greenwich Time Pub” (Congress Street Entrance) There’s something magical about this place. It has two separate entrances, and if you don’t know better you might think it’s two different bars before you walk through the door. At the time I shot this, I was walking by and the sign caught my eye so I decided to capture the moment. It’s interesting to think back to what Detroit was like that year, especially just months before we filed for bankruptcy. There was a tension in the city, mainly caused by what the employees of the city were going through: threat of losing their pensions; employee cut backs in city jobs ~ including the police + fire departments, meanwhile fires were up across the city, especially further out from downtown. I was dating a Detroit firefighter at the time and lived right outside of downtown while working for the Detroit Convention & Visitors Bureau (@VisitDetroit) but despite all of the bs, Detroit never lost her sparkle to me.
So many places didn’t make it through 2020, it makes me happy to know that Greenwich is still rocking their brews and delicious sandwiches. I found an old write-up from @OpportunityDetroit that I’m sharing below for anyone interested in more history. One of the things that I find curious is the “Est. 1955” when the bar wasn’t purchased and renamed Greenwich Time Pub until 1966… I started shooting documentary photography back in 2007, when I got my first “portable camera” as I refer to it (iPhone 1). This mostly likely would’ve been an iPhone 4 or 5. Or it could’ve been my Samsung, I didn’t look because I fully edited it on my iPad w/o taking it to my laptop where I make edits prior to listing images on my website.
