RIP Greektown: Laikon Closing

I guess the only positive in this is they're going to retain the streetwall. I was at the casino on Saturday and walking down the street, it's hardly what I remember when I was a little boy 15 years ago. On a side note, what's up with the gravel lot on the corner where New Helas [[sp?) used to be? Is there any development associated with that site? Seems like it'd be one hell of a property to own.

I was seeing that as a silver lining to this idiotic decision by the casino. At least we will still have the Monroe St. streetwall. Also, I thought I heard that the corner where New Helas was is indeed planned for development [[the casino would not be thinking of their own pocketbook otherwise). Anyone actually have details on that lot?
