Apparently there was a bank robbery attempt at the downtown Chase building. Woodward appears to be shut down from Jefferson to at least Gratiot [[I can't see any further from where I am).I haven't seen the media pick up the story yet.I hope everyone's alright, and I hope the DPD nab whoever it was.
If the media picks it up, I'll get the links in here.
It would appear the Woodward shutdown was perhaps due to a rouge marching band, and not related to the robbery.
Woodward is shut down because of the Cass Tech celebratory parade
No kidding? Care to share exactly where Gratiot intersects Woodward?Quote:

Right next to that big hole in the ground where Hudson's used to stand.Quote:

So a bank was robbed by a marching band?
LOL, yeah, it's all sorts of awesome. Normally I wouldn't have posted it, but I thought the Woodward closure was related, so that's why I created the thread.Quote:

The Bank was robbed by a gang of Catholic Central grads who hoped to cast the Cass Tech football team in a poor light.
Curious: With so many banks in the vicinity, how'd you settle upon Chase?Quote:

I don't know about that. I think you might just be a bankist.
That would make a great Woody Allen movie.Quote:

Shame about the Cass Tech band going rogue...
It happened after they watched the Lions play football the last two weeks.Quote:

Not the robbery itself of course, but the reactions to it.

They will tell you the branch is closed and when you ask why they just repeat that it's closed. A bank gets robbed someplace in Metro Detroit every day. The only robberies that make the news are if they got a lot of money or if something crazy happened [[injury, car chase, gun shots).

So there is a Chase down State St?
