"To prevent further sitdowns, the Hotel Association countered by announcing at 4 a.m., the following morning, a "lock-out" of all employees in the downtown's major hotels, but before the buildings could be cleared the Waiters and Waitresses Union led a bold invasion of the Book Cadillac Hotel, led by organizer Floyd Loew, 60 union activists approached the hotel just before dawn, only to find the street entrances blocked by police, only two patrolmen guarded the employees' entrance on the alley, "so we hollered, Let's go" as Loew recollected the event, "and rushed in and filled the alley so quick the other policemen couldn't get to what was happening," pushing the patrolmen aside and entering the building, the union contingent, joined by waitresses and other employees still on duty, barricaded themselves inside the Esquire Room," from Working Detroit: The Making of a Union Town, by Steve Babson.

- Description:
- View of buildings on the corner of Fifth and Plum streets in Detroit, Michigan. "[Robert] Cobb discovered Elton Park downtown between Michigan Avenue.,the Lodge and the Fisher Freeways, upon seeing the old buildings on Plum St. he envisioned an Artist Community with shops, theaters and restaurants, slowly he began buying buildings, he met Sherman Shapiro, then a 57-year-old real estate developer, and they became partners, they ended up owning most of the buildings on Plum St. between Fourth and Fifth ... Cobb and Shapiro knew they were taking a gamble with the location of Plum St. they'd have to draw primarily on the Central Business District and tourists for customers, the people who were attracted to Plum Street were loitering college kids from Wayne State and the University of Michigan, at first the businesses welcomed the hippies hanging out, to help create an image, the merchants became upset after realizing the hippies were harassing customers for money and not spending it in the shops, the area became known for drug dealing and later motorcycle gangs, which scared away customers ... at one time there were 43 shops in the Plum St. district, in 1969, three years after the opening, only 6 to 8 shops remained," from Detroit News article.
