Illitch to build another Parking Garage, this time at Park/Henry

[CrashDummy]

Ummmmm.... Gilbert is 54 years old.... Mike Ilitch has kids older than him.

Gilbert was born in 1962, graduated college circa mid 1980s when he had nothing... and Ilitch was already a billionaire. Gilbert started Rock Financial with a few others in 1985.... and became a billionaire circa 2005 around the time he bought the Cleveland Cavaliers. Now he's Michigan's richest man.

Emu Steve.... whatever historical comparisons you are trying to make with Ilitch and Gilbert.... they're pointless.....

Ilitch bought buildings for pennies on the dollar, and then did nothing with them, besides either flatten them, or let them rot. Gilbert paid [[for Detroit) top dollar... and is restoring them.

FYI, Gilbert's net worth in 2005 was $900 million, Ilitch's was $815 million. Both dropped off the Forbes 400 list for a period, with Ilitch returning in 2006, Gilbert in 2011. Currently, Ilitch is #2 in Michigan at $5.8 billion, Gilbert is #4 at $4.6 billion.

I'm not applying any relevancy to this, just adding information.
