The Indian Village Association has gone after many people over the years, to the point of taking them to court, to make sure these zoning restrictions are enforced.

Anyway, I know someone who owns one of those riverfront houses on Dwight, and I'd take it over almost any IV house. They really are unique in the city.
I agree, plus the riverfront home would be much more private and he can have a boat docked in the backyard. I was a little sick of seeing him say he is mister "Detroit" and living way out in Clarkston or wherever. Years ago, I used to see him play [[before he hit it big) with the Howling Diablos at the Bear's Den bar in Berkley. They used to have a standing Sunday night gig. It was so much fun. The Diablos put on such a great live show.
