$6 million is better than the $0 worth of upgrades that was being done by the city. I think that anything in this situation is better than nothing. If they couple that $6 million with various non-profit organizations, such as Friends of Belle Isle, the aquarium people, those who take care of the conservatory, the Detroit Zoo [[expand/renovate the Belle Isle Zoo?), etc we will see way, way more than $6m in upgrades. The question is, does The Shady Nerd have what it takes to coordinate a true restoration of one of Detroit's most unique features?
