Almost as ugly and not at all complementary as the monstrosity that they added to Old Main at WSU!! :eek:

Getting back to the airport... as someone who enjoyed the one trip I had via Southwest Airline from Detroit City Airport to Chicago Midway back when they had service... the current upgrades are great...

The view from the CPA Building across Michigan Avenue towards Roosevelt Park.
...

Wait... I thought Texas, as an energy producer, would make it cheap and affordable to live there, utilities wise... :confused:

Thousands of Texans are falling behind on their energy bills as...

The 6 story CPA Building across from Roosevelt Park facing the MCS has a name nothing to do with CPA's. It is the Conductors' Protective Assurance Building, dealing with railroad employees, and...

They should plan on an August 18, 2024 opening... that would be the exact 120th anniversary of its' first opening in 1904.

^ Agree mwilbert... or just like "word salad"... to be ignored... ;)

My Homeowners Insurance in SCS, where my house is insured for $250K, I pay $65 per month for $2K deductible thru AAA.

I didn't want to start a new thread on this... so I thought this was the place to post it. Talks about the Sunbelt migration may be slowing down. Now no one can really make a prediction based on...

^The concept of the RenCen was the idea of Henry Ford II after the 67 riots. He then arm twisted IIRC 51 other corporate CEOs to chip in... it was started in 1973 and finished in 1977.

^^ Stasu1213 And here I thought that you were going to say that Gilbert knew something was up, and his Hudson's tower would be the tallest after all!! :p

But yes, it will not get torn down......

The Free Press headline chose the least desirable of all possibilities, and ran with it as their headline... and now folks have their knickers in a twist. The RenCen isn't going anywhere. If it were...

^That will never happen. It would truly diminish Detroit if the city's most iconic building were demolished. It would make international news, and not in a positive way. :eek:

Open thread on this already.

Little Village/Stanton Yards [with nearby Pewabic Pottery] seems so organic... everything is being added to what is already there, making reuse of the existing urban fabric... for a nice and very...

To me this "organic" arts center is going to be competition with the Grosse Pointe Park "produced" arts center up Jefferson. Hmmmm... :confused:

Oh yeah... this will make it to the Hall Of Fame thread... :eek:

That's so sad... all of the old timers are gone... Soupy Sales, Carol Duvall, Bill Bonds, Marilyn Turner, John Kelly, Rita Bell, Bill Kennedy, Sonny Elliott, and the actors who played Milky the...

OK... so Friedman bought the 500 & 600 Towers for $15 million, and then spent about approximately $12.5 million to move all of BCBSM to the 500 Tower, which they sold for $30.4 million to a Florida...

If I may make a suggestion... the next time you make a video of the building, take a quick drone panorama shot level with the top of the Hudson's Tower... and give us a 360 degree view of how the...

I think your comment would be more appropriate worded this way...

"American business are more concerned about making a buck, then they are about their neighbors having a job."

After all...

I mentioned this earlier in this thead... but I wouldn't mind it if Blue Cross of Michigan moved entirely into the RenCen [maybe Tower 100 in addition to Tower 500, or take 2 of the big towers], and...

An article in Crain's today about the 500 Tower of RenCen was sold... I assume to Blue Cross, but I could not get past the Paywall.

^ Although we all have anecdotes about people with a masters degree working at book stores, I can relate to some of your comments.

I am rather appalled that schools want to eliminate cursive......

^ I can't speak about the 3rd building farther from downtown, but the Blenheim Apartments [stick built] went from being occupied to being mothballed relatively quickly... no scavengers got in, and it...
