I'm not surprised. The parent company filed for bankruptcy. The chain was highly unremarkable with mediorce food and beer. They seemed to have their niche in suburban office park and outlot...

Many communities in western Oakland County have been complaining...
Gosh LBP is such a dinosaur. Its become such an idiot and needs to hang it up. I will be so happy when this guy goes away, but I also fear we will get some moron in his place.
He just doesn't...
Meanwhile, just up M-5 in Commerce Twp:
Commerce Township wants to move forward with a faux-downtown mixed-used development thats been in the works for over a decade.
Crains ran an article last...
There is a similar type of project and stories coming out of the Indianapolis area. Lots of land acquisition, rumors, and people who may know more who are held to secrecy under NDAs.

To what extent is Windsor growth being fueled by people fleeing the high cost of living in the GTA? Are people choosing Windsor over Toronto these days because of the insane housing costs?
A couple of thoughts/comments on this latest news.
1) There is a good probability that they are over-headcount in the salaried positions due to lower than anticipated attrition and retirements. ...
The biggest problem with this plan was that it was not on Big Beaver, that they were going to on a side street replacing homes on acre plus lots.
If it were directly on Big Beaver it might have...
Much of this company is spin-off from JCI so a lot of the functions I believe are coming from existing offices in Plymouth. I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of downtown presence but I...

They have done asphalt overlays on that stretch of I-75 within the past 5-10 years, but that is more or less periodic maintenance to rehab the road but its in poor shape again.
A few things:
- I-75 is due for a major reconstruction through most of Oakland County, additional lane or not. The original road and bridges from the 1960s/early 70's are showing their age. In...

I wouldn't be surprised to see an Emagine-style theather incorporated into one of the new mega-developments downtown.
Ha, I always see the concession stand open. Not too long ago they started serving beer & wine I believe.
A few years ago, my office rented out one of the theaters for a morning to have an...
The complete lack of signage and marketing of the theatre likely led to its demise.
So many people who live or work downtown had no clue there was a theatre.
I'm shocked it lasted this long. ...
My guess is that site will sit as-is until about 2017.
There will be a bunch of pie-in-the-sky development options:

-Waterpark
-Convention Center
-Horse Race Track
-Auto Race...
