One of downtown Northville s mainstays has a new name and look to reflect on the city s history.
After months of renovations, the former Poole s Tavern at 157 E. Main St., has reopened under a new name: Exchange Bar & Grill. The name, new owner Grant Baidas said, harkens back to that corner of downtown Northville in the late 1800s. It used to be Exchange Hotel back in 1890, and the story s really amazing, he said. I feel like it wasn t I just changed it to change it. I changed it because it has meaning.
Baidas said he s received some feedback expressing concern over the change, but once customers hear or read the story that hangs on the wall that explains the name change, they understand and appreciate the connection to the history of the site.
