My freind was there and has some outstanding photos of the Snake Pit. If by popular demand, I will ask him to join the forum and perhaps post some photo history. He does regularly visit this site.

Tell us more about this building. Where is/was it located on E. Grand Blvd? Who was the founder of D-Town? Who produced and who were some of the recording artist out of D-Town? This sounds like a bit of music history from Detroit that has been buried.

Sy - Mike Hanks formed D-Town around 1963. Before (and after) that he had other record labels and worked out of a house-cum-studio known as The Pig Pen, located at Lawton and McGraw.
The building at 3040 (?) East Grand was the official office and there's a photo of it somewhere on this Web site.
Mike's two main musical partners were Cody Black and the late Rudy Robinson.
