Greektown is the nearest thing Detroit has to a tourist trap - probably more than the riverfront/Ren Cen area.

If the Wahlburger joint has a better and more lively/youthful vibe than a traditional restaurant, Wahlberg and his brothers will get the customers. Most of the out-of-towners wandering in Greektown are probably not discriminating diners, anyway. They won't go off the beaten path through Detroit to find something better. I just hope they don't pee on the sidewalk like the drunk guys who park their cars in Brush Park to walk to the Tigers games at Comerica.
Good post and you're probably right. Since the powers that be are hell bent on creating a tourist town bubble, the national chain will be recognized and patronized by those sheeple, much like Hard Rock and Rain Forest were in the late 80's. [[both a total disappointment to me when I finally got a chance to visit each once) Amen on the sidewalk peeing, and scores of other abuses by the 'burbanites.
