of the famed nightclubs of the legendary Paradise Valley, the

Paradise Valley
Another
victim of the stadium projects is the renowned 606 Horseshoe
Lounge.
Throughout
the first half of the Twentieth Century, Detroit's African-American
community was largely confined to a densely populated lower
east side ghetto called the Black Bottom.
That
segregation, while creating a great hardship to the community,
did not prevent the development a vibrant and lively night club
strip called Paradise Valley.
