01 / The story of this place

Make time for these

Club Flamingo was a gay club in Pontiac on Oakland Avenue, today's Cesar Chavez Avenue. According to the Detroit Gay History blog, a hobbyist local-history source, it ran from about 1992 until around 2008, and we found no later references. We keep it in our archive as part of the region's gay nightlife history.
