I agree this is the norm, but my first post still stands. Also, while the "Clean downtown" guys DO help.., I see them standing around more than anything...but that's a different topic all-together.

I can see both sides... there have been days when I walked around [[I lived downtown for 2 years)... and no issues / no pee smell; other times...much different story... pee puddles/urea smell... there...

Wow, sorry for your loss. And true about big cities... I consider myself a "City guy" So I'm not going anywhere, I only hope then next shooting I encounter I get a good look at the perp so he can...

Well, my review WAS going to be positive.., until just now when I heard my 3rd shooting [[downtown proper mind you...); that's 3 shootings in 20 months... not good in my book. I work late, and I...

Idiots. However, I am glad this place won't be around any longer, or at least they won't have a liquor license.

It has its moments. :D

I noticed increased traffic too, both early and close to when the tigers game was supposed to start. Good thing though, more people need to see all that downtown has to offer! Then I met Jose...

Hmm guess they are off, crappy. And yeah if it was a strip club I'd protest or something... the other one near by is bad enough. And on another note... I was disappointed to see the sides of the new...

I think there have been a couple posts about it... But I agree it looks great! Only thing I don't get is the lights seem to turn off at 2am... should stay on until 5ish at least!

I believe they are actually, the picture is just a little deceiving. You realize the building doesn't have a flat front right? It kind of curves around a little.

I agree I've seen some bus drivers: Not brake or let off the gas AT ALL when someone is crossing the street hurriedly; I mean the person shouldn't have but they probably didn't realize the bus was...

Agreed, and let's put a couple cops on it to weed out the druggies [[no pun intended, lol). Actually if they're just smoking weed I don't care but the other weirdos need to be kicked off the island!

Hmm, I didn't know they were luxury at all, ever. All I know is when I've walked past there & looked in all I've seen is a small hallway with a security guard at a crappy looking wooden desk. Guess...

Doesn't surprise me they're only 50% occupied, there's no demand to live there. They are very old/out of date low income apartments from what I understand.

Right. And I mean... to be honest asbestos is NOT dangerous if left alone..

There is more to that story you linked though. The police simply didn't have enough evidence on the guy who actually broke the window in the back area of the house. As much as it sucks sometimes...

Wow really? Sad. Where did she live? [[area).

Correlation does NOT equal causation. Most criminals are not using guns legally registered to them to commit these crimes. There needs to be a crackdown on illegal guns. But as...

Article is a bunch of crap. Also bad reporting. The apartment name changed from "Washington Square Apartments" to "Detroit City Apartments". It was "trolly plaza" a lonnng time ago.
...

I know. I live downtown [[for a year now). See my post #34 above. I still question the accuracy though.

I'd like to see that as well. If you go to the Detroit Welcome Center they'll tell you downtown Detroit has 35% less crime than the national average. But I wonder if that's REALLY true...

hmm, good point. crazy.

I don't see why these places can't be required to have better/more security. With such bad incidents they should either have to get more or lose their license[[s). imo

Any update on this place? I saw the owners on TV about a month ago when they met with the city counsel. For once I was proud of the counsel because every one of them slammed the owners for their...

My thoughts as well.

Annndddd on another note, now we've got a shooting on christmas night [[2am) just outside "The Grind" off of Griswold and Clifford. I heard ~12 shots. I Got up, looked out...

Darwin-ism at its best!
