One of the great watering-holes of the
Cass Corridor, Alvin's opens its doors once again under a new owner.
Dennis Pruss, who clued me in to this great news went over and
snapped some pictures, said the owner, "John" seemed like a really
nice guy. The esteemed establishment has
shifted through many manifestations since the early 70's with
several highlights and slumps, transforming itself from "Alvin's"
into the Alvin's Twilight Bar
in the early 80's
Since the turn of the millennia the quality of the Alvin's
experience hit
a historic low, and many folks wrote it off as an establishment
that had seen its best days.
However, as you can see by the following photographs, the place
definitely has the potential to be placed back on the map.
Hopefully, folks will drop by and get the feel for the place.
