The site had been part of a historic entertainment district called Paradise Valley, where many black-owned and operated bars, clubs and other businesses flourished during the 40’s and 50’s. The last structure standing from the Paradise Valley days, the 606 Horse Shoe Lounge, would be demolished just before Ford Field is complete in 2002.
