Great shots Lowell!

If anyone has any old pics of CT please post. Especially if that really awesome building that looked somewhat similar to CT is the background!

^^

Thats what I thought too! It looks like a crowd of people with their arms up : )

Um, sure, I'll begin working on improving the city [[neighborhoods) this afternoon.

Last time I checked Detroit takes money out of workers' pay checks, that helps pay for city services. An Apple...

I know it's too far off the beaten path, but it would be perfect for an Apple Store!

BOO YA!!! Take THAT, DYES!!!:rolleyes:

Sorry you didn't win, guys. I voted for you. A music store would certainly have filled a niche, and brought at least a sliver of culture. Instead we will be getting another place at which our asses...

^^ Disagree. .244 is indeed super drunk. That is scary. Not to sound like a grandma, but I could have killed someone, or himself. And awesome he's on the city council. Same old bullshit.

Does anyone know why this area was chosen to rehab a bunch of houses? Its great that this is getting done, but the area is far from being even close to rebounding, and still looks to be in decline....

Speaking of potential on Bagley, I saw a new for sale sign on that old building across Bagley from the michigan building with that jank covering on it. Hadn't it just sold with the promise [[ha) of...

^^^ Puke.

And vacant buildings are not productive for a city regardless of any other value and yet the still cost money.


Vacant land is?


In the real world, just punishing the owners...

A normal urban neighborhood? Not on the radar for downtown, far as I can tell.


Downtown is not a normal urban neighborhood. It shouldn't be built as one.

I'm just saying I'm very much a city person, and truck noise and things like that don't bother me. Sure, there aren't amenities there for current or future residents, and it looks like there won't...

I didn't think Duggan was so gung-ho about demolition, like say, Gilbert saying every vacant structure needs to go. This building was far from beyond repair, and there are plenty of converted...

So one home per day in EEV and two in BE are selling every day? Am I understanding this correctly? Does anyone have any info on how many bids go toward any given property?

This sounds too good to...

Wow, that is a fascinating pic! What a difference...I like this Greektown much better.

You know what makes me sad? All of the 'high rises' that were demo'd for Comerica. I have not lived in the city/area long enough to have ever seen what that area looked like when those building were...

The article also states that construction on the Midtown Professional Plaza started in August, but there is no evidence of anything happening there.

I agree wholeheartedly, Swingline. The building is too short and squat for for how wide and long it is. Also, it is out of proportion with how wide Woodward is. This is a silly building to put here,...

Does anyone have pictures of the Seville Hotel? I googled it, only one pic where it is partially demolished already.

The coffee shop/gelato place Melt has happy hour specials! I think their Friday one is a medium gelato + a double espresso for $5.

BTW, it's smoke IN mirrors.

Hello forumers -

I vaguely remember a cohort telling me about a place on Michigan Ave that sold left over paint from commercial and industrial jobs for cheap to the public. Does anyone know the...

People walk in the streets in plenty of cities, particularly places where traffic isn't prohibitive of doing such. My sister lives in Dallas, and a young pregnant girl she was 'mentoring' got hit by...

Eber Brock, where did you hear about the building on Washington being turned into apts? What was it before?

Also, don't forget the law firm from Birmingham that bought a mid-rise office building...

I wondered where you had been, Poobs. Your snark makes me laugh out loud...welcome back :)
