MCB's Paul Hitz snapped these shots when The Night Move and MOTORCITYBLOG made the virgin run from Royal Oak to Ferndale to Detroit last year
To get to metro D's hottest pool hall, Ferndale's The Loving Touch,
or its sister bars the WAB and Emory.
Hit Ferndale to watch the game (whatever game that may be),
play some pool, and of course, get drunk.
