Also... somewhere in the bowels of DYES archives is a 20+ year old thread talking about Mike Ilitches "Agora" [Greek/Macedonian for marketplace]... his idea to turn the 1 block closed section of W....
You forgot to mention "festoon lighting"... when I looked that up it mentioned "light bulbs strung along". :o
I am just as skeptical as you are... after all the Detroit Life Building has been a...
^ As Lowell said... the Blenheim Apartments is not in bad condition, unlike most Ilitch owned [poorly maintained roof] properties. And its' location is adjacent to the Columbia St. "festivites"...
With the opening of the Huntington Bank Tower on Woodward, this is the only parcel of land available on that block... and unlike the Huntington Tower, the Fine Arts parcel fronts Grand Circus Park.
...
It looks like the mothballed facade of the Ilitch owned Fine Arts Building [formerly the entrance to the Adams Theatre] on W. Adams [west Grand Circus Park], and the red Blenheim Apartments building...
Funny when talking about famous architecture... no modern building has paid for itself in tourism as much as the Sydney Opera House.
But even though it is a tourist attraction extraordinaire... it...
Look at the bright side... Belle Isle will have, as its' German named street says... "Inselruhe"! :o
You probably have been left spellbound by all those crushed cans looking buildings. Have you checked out any of the lawsuits and building problems his "innovative designs" have produced? Innovative...
Well then, if he is anywhere near as good as your hyperbole of him, then maybe... ;) but yes he is very good.
I had never heard of him before this "thread"... but then again, I'm just a boomer. :)
Yes... my exact thoughts!! The Detroit Opera House conversion of the former Capitol Theatre cost $42 million back in 1991-98... and that was a much larger venue. They replaced 90% of the ornate...
Looks like the Music Hall expansion is a go... $125 million...

Now if this guy came here to kick things off at the concert at the 6.6. 2024 concert at Michigan Central Station... it would be more newsworthy on DYES...
Concert to lead 'global celebration for...
Um... shouldn't this topic be in DYes CHIT-CHAT ROOM??
Not Detroit related, except for a concert appearance... :confused:
^ AGREE!!! Forgot about the proximity of Pewabic Pottery, just 3 streets over. I didn't see this on the radar at all either. What a great neighborhood that will be. For the folks that are doing...
Holy crap!! The area north of Jefferson here is going to house its' own little artists colony of sorts... this is amazing!!! :o
...
Oh wow... it took me a while to figure out the location, but this is right next door to the Lodge Subdivision... the 3 streets between Jefferson and the river where the Manoogian Mansion is at. 2 of...
It was me being diplomatic, after your were questioning why the Ren Cen was not lit up... but since you reposted my comment I'll come right out and say it... you are incorrect... the Red Cen was...
As long as they don't use the Trump courthouse rally counter... :o
Speaking of Michael Higgins. He passed away... and was gay. I wonder if he made out a will... since his 24 story Leland House over on Bagley & Cass will be the largest building in downtown not yet...
I am assuming that all the out of town visitors who stay at area hotels get brochures on what there is to do around Detroit, besides the Draft. They may not have the time to do much sightseeing, but...
Would definitely want to use one of those paper "ass-gaskets"! :o
Good thing this wasn't a 3rd world country... then there would be news headlines of people being fatally trampled!! :eek:
I think that next years hosts... Green Bay... is probably shitting...
^^^ Thanks... I missed the garage pics! Makes a lot more sense to me now. The alley entrance garages... that will certainly save on driveway snow shoveling! :)
My question in that regard is this... which is more expensive... 1) having no driveway/garage and parking on the street [how much will that up your car insurance?]... or 2) having a larger lot with...
