General Information:

Update 1/3/2026 from WWW:

I may have found the address but it is sort of a long shot. I found a building that now houses a pharmacy that has the same window configuration as the restaurant. Additionally, there is a white house across the street which matches what can be seen thru the curtains on the postcard. Thin evidence I know but I am going to go with it for now.


The Driftwood opened in 1955. I can see the vintage jukebox on the side there so I don't think it was fine dining. I am trying to make out the structure visible through the sheer curtains to determine the exact location. There is a chance this is the older incarnation of Kim's Tally Ho but I am not sure yet.

There are a couple of small restaurants in Curtis that could be a later incarnation of the Driftwood. Unfortunately I don't have a vintage exterior photo so it's hard to compare. I am assuming Main St as that is where most of the businesses are. The postcard mentions going up M-135 which is now H33 or Manistique Lakes Rd. I don't take the postcard to mean the place was ON M-135.
