by Greg Dooley

posted 11/14/2009

On the evening of November 19, 1931, a Cadillac pulled up to the two-level gas station on Washtenaw (today home to Bearclaw Coffee). According to the Michigan Daily, the driver and passengers had obscured their faces with "dark goggles" and "hats pulled down over their eyes." They rolled a five-gallon ceramic jug out of the car and sped off.
