I don't really want to see any vendors on the riverfront, necessarily. Isn't our precious little waterfront already overburdened with festivals and theaters and attractions and such?
I want to see a cruise ship docked at our new port, during DEMF, with people dancing on the boat's deck.:cool:
People......and a lot of them.
Girls, girls and more girls in summer dresses that enjoy being looked at. Everybody will forget about crime and EMs for a little while.
Bike lanes...
How about taking those parking lots east of the ren cen and turn them into recreational fields like soccer, baseball, basketball courts, ect. Anything but parking lots!
Huh? Wait, are you saying there is TOO MUCH activity on the waterfront?? :confused:
I remember back in the 1980s when there were festivals every weekend down on the waterfront... the German, Polish, Italian, Yugoslavian, and many other ethnic festivals downtown that drew huge numbers of people, and made Hart Plaza and the riverfront area a big draw... add to that the Grand Prix and Hoedown, and the riverfront was a thriving place to be.
I'm curious to know what has replaced all among this list that has been lost?
I want to see retail open in the former Asian village building. A sporting gear shop could open there that sell running/walking shoes.skateboards, rollerblades, exercise attire and more.
Too soon....too soon!! :)

I'd like to see some tall ships on Detroit's waters.
How about a new ferry service to Windsor and Points North and South?
Or maybe a $31 million expansion of the riverwalk/greenway?

What is a Wet Willie's?
A Wet Willie's is a beach/waterfront day bar. It serves a plethora of mixed frozen drinks. I spent many a day at the South Beach location when I lived down there. The drinks are great and the scenery even better. Right on Ocean Drive down the street from the famous Scarface hotel scene.
I agree with maxx. I'd love to see tall ships! A few years ago we attended a tall ships festival/celebration in Bay City. It was great fun!
Pie in the sky dreaming here but I'd love to see both Bob-Lo boats down there again. While there isn't an amusement park to take passengers to anymore, just the cruise the river in one of those boats again would be great.
Can we get the Concert of Colors back on the riverfront, and out of the concrete and asphalt jungle that is the Orchestra Hall area? Don't get me wrong, I like orchestra hall, but I'd rather see a decent concert or ten with the river as a backdrop in the middle of summertime.
