Downtown has thousands of interns this summer
Starting to resemble a college town which is the hope for Detroit that college students/graduates will want to gravitate to this big employment hub instead of some suburban office where at 5:00 it is time to get in the car and drive home.

Gilbert is excited by what he sees....
“There’s a massive, wildfire interest in Detroit,” Gilbert said. “Detroit sells.”
Detroit is catching up to other cities

Detroit is doing what NYC and Chicago have done for years, the difference is there is only ONE major university in Detroit -- WSU. There are a couple of Minor universities, but the big research univ is in Ann Arbor. Once Detroit brings more major universities to the city, THEN you will see growth, but one won't do it.
Also, Interns are temporary part time workers. When these kids stop working [[are they getting paid?) and start looking for work, they'll most likely leave the city, go to a big city or booming state like Minnesota, Utah, et al.
