Hogan's Restaurant 6450 Telegraph Road Bloomfield Hills, MI 48301 Machus Red Fox Restaurant: former Teamsters president Jimmy Hoffa was last seen alive; located at 6676 Telegraph Road in Bloomfield Hills. It was approximately 2pm on July 30, 1975, when patrons of the Red Fox recall seeing Hoffa at the restaurant and in the parking lot. It was around that time when Hoffa arrived at the establishment to have a pre-arranged meeting with  Anthony Provenzano and Tony Giacalone. Evidently, the others had not arrived yet, so Jimmy called his wife to tell her he was stood up (It's believed he went downstairs to make the call). “I'll be home around 4” he said...and that was it. The FBI claims Hoffa left the restaurant in a Mercury Marquis sometime between 2:45 and 3pm. He was never heard from or seen again.
