This month’s mystery photo shows two views of the first strip mall in Traverse City. The name is clearly written on one of them—but where is it? Extra credit if you can name the decade in which it was built.

It is off Eighth Street just past Garfield, going North I believe? The first photo used to house my masseuse and the second my tanning salon, both many years ago! Am I first??!
Congratulations, Betsy! You are the August 2016 GTJ Mystery Photo Winner! High praise is yours, and thanks for reading!
It would be neat to get a list of all the businesses that have resided there over the years… maybe one of our readers would be interested in doing a little research? If so, drop us a line at gtjeditor@tadl.org
For sure it is on 8 st and judging by the style of architect I’m going with the 1960’s
Hmmm, that’s a good guess, Christopher! But I bet if you came in and looked at the city directories, you’ll find the strip mall is even older! Makes you curious, right?
