Historic Brass Rail prepares to reopen with family traditions intact

PORT HURON, MI — Nearly 90 years after Helen David transformed her family's ice cream parlor into the Brass Rail, the historic downtown bar is preparing to welcome customers back for another Tom and Jerry season. The Brass Rail, located at 410 Huron Ave., is scheduled to reopen Wednesday, Nov. 18, following extensive renovations that took longer than originally anticipated. For Tony Abou-Ganim, a Port Huron native, longtime bartender and relative of David, the project is about preserving a family legacy and a tradition that has become part of the city's identity. In late 2025, Abou-Ganim partnered with local real estate developer Jimmy Radatz to purchase and restore the Brass Rail , returning the business to family ownership. Renovations uncover more than expected The bar operated during the 2025 Tom and Jerry season before closing Jan. 1 for renovations. The original goal was to reopen June 15, 2026 — the 89th anniversary of its founding. But renovations uncovered additional work that needed to be completed before reopening. "It turned into a much larger project than we originally envisioned when we ran Tom and Jerry's last season," Abou-Ganim said. The work included electrical, plumbing and heating and cooling upgrades, asbestos removal

Farmington theater leans on upgrades, alcohol and the internet for resurgence

FARMINGTON — It's a cold and drizzly evening in early November, and Lucy Savoy is outside the Farmington Civic Theater. On the evening of Nov. 5, Savoy and her teammates on Clarkston High School's ski team made the trek to Farmington to watch ski documentarian Warren Miller's 2026 feature, "Days Off." The ski team crowded down the sidewalk with other moviegoers as they made their way into the theater lobby, which quickly filled up. "This is like a whole experience," said Savoy, 18. "They have booths and stuff, and it’s amazing. We’re really excited to go see the movie.” "Days Off" is just one of the special screenings at the Civic Theater that'll play this month at the quaint theater on Grand River Avenue in downtown Farmington. More than 25 years after the city of Farmington purchased the 1939 building to better control how it would be used, theater and city leaders are pushing to sustain it. The theater got an alcohol license earlier this year and recently installed new leather rockers from the Romeo Theater, another small-town theater that shut down earlier this year amid changing movie-goer habits. Officials have also discussed installing a pizza oven at the theater.
