In 1925, Mr. Pilecki built a 31 room gentleman's hotel with a rathskeller at 2990 Yemans Street.

In the 1940's and 50's Hamtramck's population surged to over 50,000 as more immigrants arrived to man the city's factories.

Walking through the neighborhood at that time, you could feel the hospitality and smell the fine cooking typical of European villages.

In 1976, Mr. Pilecki's cellar beer garden became the Polish Village Cafe. His tradition of welcoming immigrants and their descendents continues to this day. (from http://www.thepolishvillagecafe.com)

Life is short, eat dessert first." John Poole may have taken Winston Churchill's words to heart when he opened Poole's Pie Shop in 1945. For six years the cozy spot was a veritable holy grail of pies - all sweet - but soon their patrons wanted more.

In the early 1950's, "chicken slick," sandwiches, and a daily "hot plate" made their way onto the Poole's menu, and the line to be served wrapped around the corner. The pie shop moved out, as Poole's Pies became Poole's Luncheonette, and a downtown hot-spot was born. We'd like to think it was the first.
