That parking garage has been coming down for at least two years. We used to go to Bunchy's there and they moved out with the first warning that the garage was going to close. The clothing store moved...

It's being reported that Bob passed away this morning at 7:15. Well known as a all-around good guy, he stepped into the Funk Brothers as a partner and then replacement to James Jamerson. He will be...

During the week they sure do. Maintaining a decent overnight occupancy, combined with dynamite weekend business is what makes a hotel a successful business.

It might have been just with the two...

The new hotel would be packed on the weekends with local overnighters and their event facility would be solidly booked, probably year-round. They would make a large percentage of their money on...

It's good news, but I'll be sticking with 1515 on Broadway.

In fact, this is the FIRST chance for real progress in a long time. I'm glad that five members of the clowncil [[and the Baptist Pastors contingent) realized that this was the only way to get a chance...

Despite all this, there is a LOT of positive energy here. Come see.

At a minimum, Eastern Market, the Royal Oak Farmer's Market, the Rust Belt Market in Ferndale and a stem to stern drive through all of Detroit. Of course, the DIA, the CBD architecture, the...

Please come visit first, Maria. It would be much easier to experience the reality of Detroit from "ground level" than having helpful folks try to describe it to you. Together we can make it very...

Great news - I wonder what happened to break it loose?

Yes he does. I've had the pleasure to meet him twice and he seems like the real deal. He's smart and somehow he is able to get things done. I'd bet that he can have more impact as a government...

First impression: Net-Net this is going to increase congestion and pollution, and probably get my scooter-riding ass killed by a crazy bus "pilot". Reassess.

Second impression... creative writing:...

You sir, are my new hero. This expresses very well the rage that I'm feeling right now. Thanks.

From calling on them for business... which is booming and we like it very much. Parking lot is packed vendors for sure. I've not been to every floor in the tower, but I've seen a few of 'em and they...

The Auburn Hills complex is full to the brim and I think that they are converting non-work areas to cubes. They are also stepping up their local-area leasing activities as well, apparently. Busy...

Welcome to Detroit Yes! Feel free to ask any questions that you might have right here, we will be able to get the answers for you!

If this is indeed your first time in Detroit, I'd make a quick...

Exactly what I was thinking, Gorath. I can envision a sort of selective bowling ball rolling down the length of Woodward taking out anything that doesn't fit some sort of BS litmus test on...

The fire escape was severely damaged and unusable. It would have to have been totally replaced in order to be functional. Here's a shot from yesterday as they were getting ready to remove the last...

And apparently one swing of the crane lifting the mangled remains of the fire escape hit the neighboring Metropolitan building. So said one of the Broderick construction workers, apparently. I can't...

I could say the same thing about Wayne County. What is with the stopping at green lights on Woodward?

We walked up a couple of times and had an amazing time. Front row for the bands [[or behind the bands to check out the drumming), local food [[ate at the Royal Oak Brewery before and got some quality...

Yup, the overhang is gone, and by gone I mean cut off with fire. It really changes the streetscape in front of the Wurlitzer. I'll take a look later and see if they are or have removed the dangling...

There is a lot of work going on at the Wurlitzer Building today. A crew was cleaning up the outside yesterday, but today they are moving the scaffolding/debris shield and there are probably 5-8...

The Rovers is a vintage scooter club - old shifter scoots like Lambrettas and Vespas, etc. but a few members also have a modern scooter [[twist and go). We welcome all types of scoots and riders...

UPDATE: Oct. 1, 2014 - Movement on the Wurlitzer is happening. It appears to have been sold and slated for renovation.
