You're absolutely correct. I'm not advocating whats going on in any way but as a business [[and a very unique one), the Casino is going to do what's best for their interests, even if this includes leveling a city block in order to give their business a competitive advantage. The City of Detroit should have given the neighborhood some sort of heritage preservation status years ago to protect it from the fate thats about come of it. Unfortunately for Detroit, big money talks and palms need to be greased. It's only a matter of time before the old neighborhood is nothing but a memory.
