The building had been pretty thoroughly scrapped by the time the AoD decided to demolish. As for whether or not it could have been better secured, I know that the archdiocese was aware that the...

St. Lad's, Transfiguration/OL Help of Christians, and St. Louis the King merged in January to form Blessed Pope John Paul II Parish. Main office and records from all three former parishes are at the...

Reminds me of the one time I got to see the gang squad brain trust do their thing. A carful of young men was pulled over outside my apartment [[midtown, if it matters) and was quickly surrounded by...

You are right, the diocese is not required to chase people out to 83 mile road. There's no need, because they all went willingly. The diocese followed them. The diocese doesn't build churches where...

For all this rage about parishes abandoning the community, I have to ask: What community? SHM, Josaphat, and St. Joseph are gorgeous, huge old churches...within walking distance of each other and of...

By your map, I can get from my Midtown home to my parents' place in Flat Rock and to my sister's place in Royal Oak--which is to say, I like it. I don't care if they are buses that look like...

Leady, I was talking to someone from Midtown, Inc. [[or whatever the former UCCA is being called now) and she said that they were getting close to movement on the Forest Arms. They've got a new roof...

I'm not picking on Crystal specifically, but this jumped out at me:

Why does your [[or, more appropriately, the neighbors', in this case) desire to not see a front-yard veggie garden trump the...

Sex/Relationship advice columnist Dan Savage had a letter recently from a guy who mentioned in passing [[in passing, like the weather...) that he'd been voluntarily castrated. Dan naturally asked for...

I could be wrong on this, but I thought that both Blondy and the city attempted to find another lot for the garden, but the gardeners refused.

I can only imagine that no one's posted this yet because we are all too busy banging our heads against the wall: Michigan parole board votes to release Kwame Kilpatrick.

How's the progress coming on those apartments being renovated at Woodward and Seven near Palmer Park? Sooner or later my landlord's gonna read one of these articles and start raising my rent...

I took that as, "Matty Maroun is a cartoon villian; halting progress on the MCS windows is the least of what he's prepared to do to get his way."

Bring in Smirnoff to sponsor it for Winter Blast?

That's my entire point--nobody is going to build on that site in the foreseeable future. So, sure, put in a garden. Or, fine, an open-air market. Or a skate park. Personally, I rather liked the idea...

But, Detroitnerd, a garden is hardly a permanent structure, or one that's hard to re-purpose later if demand for the space comes available.

I'm not saying that a vibrant downtown jam-packed full...

Here's what's making me crazy about this entire conversation: It's not like we're being offered the choice between a restored and resplendent Lafayette Building or an urban garden of glow-in-the-dark...

Here's some more info on the Automated License Plate Recognition systems: clicky.

Everybody complains about the parking enforcement, but can you imagine if every city department was run as efficiently and as by-the-book as these guys usually operate? Can we hire these guys to do...

Have you tried Habib's yet? Was there a few weeks ago, and it was fantastic.

Why do people think that there's a tide of school renovators, lawn maintenance personnel, and gentrifiers turning away from Detroit because of the graffiti?

Sorry, but whatever your feelings on...

A bit of both. From an AoD statement posted here: "The Detroit archdiocese . . . gave them direction as to the additional information and steps that would need to be taken. . . .While there have...

Lizanne, while you are lecturing other people about denying Church teaching and getting right with the Church, you may want to remember that "Real" Catholic TV is NOT an approved apostolate in the...

Grander54, the AoD only has records from closed parishes. MHT and Our Lady of the Rosary are still open, you will need to contact them directly for your records. On the other hand, I think the AoD...

Forget the politics, it's the prices that keep me out of Whole Foods. I won't spend a dime there until I get a whole lot more dimes. TJ's is way cheaper, and University Foods is cheaper still.
