A Mention of Wayne Junction in Modern Literature

Detroit Free Press, July 30, 1939

Channing Pollock, the playwright and critic, wasn't from Detroit but had obviously passed through town via the Pere Marquette Railroad en route from Chicago to the east coast where he lived to have known about Wayne Junction. As such, he included a mention of it in this short story entitled 13 at Table. Of course, there is also a Wayne Junction in Philadelphia which is the more likely scenario for the story but until it's proven not to be the Wayne, Michigan location the chances are 50/50 that it is.
