BIRMINGHAM Police are being mum on the details of an alleged speakeasy operation downtown that reportedly was busted up last month.
During his regular report to the City Commission April 26, City Manager Tom Markus detailed an illegal bar and music venue operating in an empty retail space in the 200 block of Willits Street. He said police closed the establishment and issued 16 citations for misdemeanor offenses ranging from illegal occupancy where a special land use permit is required to selling alcohol without a liquor license.
“We had what I call a blind pig or a speakeasy running in the community, and we put them out of business,” Markus said. “I think it went on longer than most people realize but, in its later months, probably got a little more cranked up. They were clearly in violation of the law.”

BIRMINGHAM/BLOOMFIELD Bloomfield Hills Public Safety Chief Noel Clason doesn’t need to look at the calendar to determine when spring has sprung.
He knows winter is over as soon as the calls start coming in residents complaining about the burnouts, revving engines and overall excessive level of noise coming from the Woodward corridor.
“This is sort of on the list of hot items the community is concerned about every year. It has come up at commission meetings the last few summers,” Clason said. “As far back as I can remember, which is 20-plus years, Woodward is inherently loud.”
