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

Visitors can attach commemorative locks to the steel structure celebrating the city's Great Lakes shipping heritage. The project was funded through local donations, grants and sponsorships. Featured image recommendation Use an actual photograph of the sculpture at Broadway Park rather than an AI-generated interpretation. The chamber's project page and local October coverage include visual references that would help readers recognize the attraction. Sources 1.

Marine City sculpture installation and City Commission approval. Documents the Oct. 15 agreement, preliminary costs and maintenance responsibilities. Bluewater Healthy Living Editorial verification: The $4,800-$6,600 project figure is an early estimate, not a confirmed final cost.
