Growing up at 14/Van Dyke...this brings back memories. That stretch of Van Dyke between 12 and 15 Mile has always been lacking or developed in a half-assed way. I remember the Super Kmart at 14/Van Dyke didn't last very long and most of the neighboring tenants left with the blue light special.

The biggest sore-spot is the Butterfly, which is just south of 14...that place is a shit-hole...seems to have always attracted a rough crowd for as long as I can remember. However, that site may become a Menards if I am not mistaken. That strip of Van Dyke has a lot of potential, if the panning is done right.
