In 1983, writer/director and former Detroit native Alan Shapiro wrote and directed the movie “Tiger Town”. We review a movie that is filled with shots of Detroit in the early ’80s, Ernie Harwell and Ray Lane with special guests Sparky Anderson and Tiger Stadium.
When I was a kid, my parents or my older brother would take my younger brother and me to rent one game and one movie a weekend. Usually, we went with the second option, renting two games which at this point, were Nintendo games. On this particular weekend, in the dollar bargain rental area stood a movie I never saw before on the shelf.
