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

Predictions: Michigan State football vs. Washington

Angelique S. Chengelis, Connor Earegood, John Niyo, and Bob Wojnowski of The Detroit News predict the outcome of Saturday's Michigan State-Washington game at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing (4:15 p.m., Big Ten Network/760 AM) . ▶ Angelique S. Chengelis: Most expected MSU head coach Pat Fitzgerald would have his Spartans fired up for the annual in-state rivalry game against Michigan, and he did. The Spartans have not made winning a habit — yet — but considering the number of injury setbacks, Fitzgerald still manages to get them to play hard. The Spartans need to win out to reach bowl eligibility and that starts with Washington, which has had it shares of struggles during Big Ten play (the Huskies are 2-4). Michigan State will have to duplicate its defensive performance and also its run game from the Michigan game, and will have to generate touchdowns, although Liam Boyd's five field goals certainly were enough last weekend. Pick: Washington, 20-16 ▶ Connor Earegood: What will make MSU's win over Michigan even sweeter is if the Spartans can turn this momentum into a bowl game. That's the marching orders heading into this game against Washington, where a mobile quarterback in Demond Williams Jr.
