Meijer is a local Michigan company and has a desire to try to help in the rebuilding of Detroit. Probably the same reason K-Mart built on Telegraph. Alot of companies and people [[even Madonna, now...

You just gave yourself away there. You start a thread that implies you might actually care about the city then you state you probably wouldn't live there if your life depended on it. So you decide...

It's not only a Detroit thing but when you have several members of the Detroit City Council and I think the U.S. Congress intentionally defaulting on their loans in a premeditated manner WHEN they...

TGG, I admit I don't know all the ins and outs of SMART and its funding but if I didn't know any better I would swear you were somehow a paid shill for some anti-bus, anti-public transit, anti-SMART,...

The whole thing about Belle Isle to me has really just been the overwhelming embarassment that the state would have to jump in to try and save it in the first place. The sense of failure this must...

Unfortunately I see downtown and midtown continuing to prosper [[a good thing) but the neighborhoods will probably continue to hollow out and decline [[a bad thing). This is one of the reasons I favor...

Wesley, thanks for being a sane voice of moderation around here. I don't know much about it but the article states that the prayer station has been at city hall a long time and just leaving it be...

Count me in as one who detests blatant gerrymandering at all costs. What you now have is politicians choosing the voters instead of the other way around. Both sides like to have guaranteed...

I sure hope this thing works out in a halfway decent way. Still can't believe the number of people just waiting for it to fail as nothing would make them happier. Can't imagine what people in other...

Saw this earlier on the morning news and assumed it was the vacant apartments nearby that I pass everyday on the freeway. So sorry to see that it was occupied and that many were forced to jump from...

Sorry to return to this thread derailment from earlier, but I must emphasize that this freeway reconstruction many seem to loathe is very much maintenance. For Christs sake, its a FEDERAL...

SDCC, sounds like a good place for the next DYes picnic!

Not to be crude but his mother has always struck me as at least 10 times dumber and crazier than he is, and she's in the U.S. Congress?

Anybody know if they allow autonomous commercial enterprises inside of state parks? If so some form of rehabilitation sounds fabulous as I eyeball this place with a sense of wonder, even in its...

This describes me exactly.

Happy Thanksgiving D-Yes'rs:)!!

Well as someone who spent some of my formative years in Livonia I can tell you the moniker of Lily White Livonia didn't come from nowhere. From the TV report it sounds like the same old same old,...

p69rrh51, you are one of the real gems around here. As a relative nobody on this excellent forum I am continually amazed and astounded at your knowledge and expertise in local architecture, along...

Forget about it. Not saying it's right but there's a reason the Lafayette off ramp ends at the entrance to the Greektown Casino, just like they designed it, and yes I know it blows to hell their...

I'll vote Yes, even though I may never use it but I sure hope they have some real, tangible RTA plans before the election that actually make sense to give voters a reason to vote yes. Of course if...

Wouldn't a more realistic goal be building a few pedestrian bridges across I-375 to link both sides of the highway? Would especially be easier while the roadbed and other bridges are being worked...

Count me in as one of the Negative Nancys on this one. Even though I doubt this would ever really happen, I can't see the point of wasting more money [[again) on another so called "study" [[again)...

Look guys, this was one of those super tragic events where two people who probably never laid eyes on each other before were brought together by a strange confluence of events that ended in tragedy. ...

That sounds like a great idea; I know the high school football teams and their families get a big kick out of playing games at Ford Field. Would also be a great way to fill in the days when the pro...

Personally, I thought it made Detroit and its people look pretty darn interesting. If it helps any I doubt if it made anyones preconceived notions about the city any worse. He said himself that he...

I don't know why but the website just let me place a bid of $3.52, no earnest money required. They might be getting desperate so as soon as I find enough pennys under my drivers seat it looks like I...
