Signed up in 12/06. Given my post count after nearly 12 years [[less than 10 at the old site), I am probably the biggest lurker [[or, more accurately, free-rider).

I learned quickly back then that...

Why does everyone care so much about GP on a Detroit forum? Many suburbs face similar issues in which part of the city starts to become cheaper and a 'less desirable' faction moves in. Take a look...

If this was random, as the police now suggest, I suspect that GPP Mayor Heenan has some new sheds in his stocking this Christmas.

And the Assistant Chief gets some coal in his for his comments.

There are so many things wrong with this story and with the responses.

How, however, is the Assistant Chief Dolunt's statement acceptable in today's world? "The kids in Grosse Pointe -- they...

Why does everything always get interpreted as racial? It seems like 'slave' has to get thrown into just about every conversation.

"Pitchforks and torches" is no slam or racial slight. Take a...

Riiiight. Because it's acceptable to incite a riot by screaming at people to "burn the bitch down" because they released the decision at night.

Had they announced it during the day and the...

What was stated was actually from here, copied and pasted in the thread without attribution. It's a lot of pseudo-chemistry, that is, a lot of fancy sounding words trying to impress without actually...

I have a hard time understanding envy/snarkiness of this type. Even if he was a member of the "lucky sperm club," he did all that could be expected, collecting and donating a major portion of the...

Unless you back that up with some historical data, I think you are way off base. Take a look at the trend for $/ft2:

Looks much like almost all other communities that took a big hit but...

Very nice video. Can you tell me anything more about your project? Where is the funding coming from or expected to come from? What are the goals and the timelines for the project [[I believe 10% of...

My buddy that does appliance repair says the owner only takes Detroit calls when they absolutely have to. The risk of trucks/tools being stolen is too great. Mostly, however, he says the number of...

Don't friends come with a 42 foot boat?

IIRC, you are a younger professional with a passion for sailing? GPP is a great fit and I hope you have now zeroed in on the area. Windmill Pointe is very nice and has withstood the downturn rather...

So true gpwrangler. So many on here bash the GPs [[like Jason) but I have found the people [[at least in GPP) are wonderful, hard working, and down to earth. I grew up in another rough part of...

Are they having any trouble filing the police positions? I don't recall that they are, but I could be wrong. That would imply that there are some other non-monetary benefits that people see in this...

Because 2/3 of traffic still comes from non-mobile devices, at least as of the end of 2013. See, e.g., here.

Quite a few new tenants have been coming in lately but still about 10 floors empty though. I guess that is less than half, but still some vacancies. Will also be several more floor open when GSA...

I was trying to make out what the ad immediately to the right of the base of the County Bldg [[or from the other direction, at street level to the left of the building listing "Space for Rent Hannan")...

I can't place the location, but I knew I recognized the guy on the left-center:

It's interesting knowing that she is from all the way out in Lake Orion that she chooses these projects w/in Detroit city limits. Way to go!

They've already figured out how to get around the barns?? And now they're selling things there?

And with this free trolley, there's no telling where they will go next.

Boy, this sure...

Surely those Pointers that voted 'yes' didn't know that SMART travels to and from Detroit. After GPP built that barn to clearly keep others out, I am sure they wouldn't knowingly and voluntarily...

I read or heard that they wouldn't consider WSU because of the track that separates the pitch from the stands. They believe that separation will ruin the whole atmosphere and degrade the experience...

No, I really don't understand the logic that the barns won't keep out crime but will keep out Detroiters. In fact, I find it completely illogical. I think they do neither. Unless you show can show...

I think people often confuse saying something is a 'right' with meaning somebody else has an obligation to pay for it.
