AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!! This is where I do my hill runs every week. Can anyone recommend another place near downtown to run sprints uphill?

Nothing that I can think of near downtown but the hill at Balduck Park or the streets between Kerby and Lewiston west of Ridge Road in Grosse Pointe Farms are nice for short sprints. You may want to also check Elmwood Cemetery there may be a "hill" you can live with.

Does Cobo still have that corkscrew parking garage ramp?

The old one was where JLA is today... the new one still exists at the NW corner of Cobo... the only way to get to the rooftop parking... so I don't see it going away any time soon...

I don't know if you're interested or not, but there used to be a group that worked out by climbing the Ren Cen stairs. All I could bring up was this annual event. There is some contact information in the link, they might know of the group I'm thinking of.
