Thanks Huggybear, I thought it was earlier than the 1999 date posted on the website comments [[I thought 1995)... but I couldn't remember.

Sadly both Grand River and Gratiot were stripped of their most prominent buildings [[movie palace and department store) from their outlying stretch of roadway in Detroit.
