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

Saginaw voters turn down proposal to repeal property tax cap

SAGINAW, Mich. (WJRT) - Voters in Saginaw turned down the proposal to eliminate the property tax cap. The measure lost by six points. In 1979, Saginaw residents voted to put a limit on property tax collections at $3.8 million, a limit believed to be like no other in the country. No inflation is included in that tax cap, so over the years, the city says it has reduced services because costs have increased.
