We only really went south of 8 Mile once a year on our way to Cedar Point on the freeway. That was "scary" to even think of going into the city of Detroit. Growing up in Royal Oak we never went south of 8 Mile Rd. The year was 1985 and I had just bought my first car which finally gave me the freedom to go where I wanted. Unfortunately for me it was my first gay bar. The Gas Station was kind of a dumpy bar which had a bit of a seedy clientele. It was opened in the mid 70's by Peter Mel who later opened The Backstage Deli, Footlights and Salute. The Gas Station was located at 19106 Woodward Ave and 7 Mile Rd in Detroit.
