Another stellar shot juxtaposing the toy with the devastated building – kudos!

Alright, dfunk – you found one! I asked you earlier to keep an eye out for any businesses that were called “______world” or “House of ________” that I remember from the 70’s on Grand River.

Well, “The World of The Computers” definitely qualifies. Especially the double use of “the” in the name…it adds a certain air of importance and distinction to the “establishment”. Perhaps I will take my computer there to remove virus and chat.

That is a large warehouse structure that is in the hood near Livernois and Michigan. It burned in a rather spectacular fire a few years back. It can also be seen in the photo a couple above the shot with the toy – with the water tower. Here are some links to the photos from when it happened:
