This really feels like a watershed moment for Detroit. I'm personally so pleased to see this news -- so many people have worked so long and so hard to make this happen. Kudos!

Nobody has mentioned the city's sesquicentennial in 1951 - video I've viewed of that event made it look like a really well attended affair, and at the height of the city's population.

I'm a little concerned that people are taking this developer a little too much at their word. You always see Sterling Heights officials touting the massive project, but not so much the developer. I...
I was at the Red Wings parade in 97 and it struck me as one of the most well attended events in Detroit history [[at the time), although it was only one day and not three.

Its a terribly designed thing. The letters, spacing, and orientation are a mess. There is no implied reference to the identity of the place. Its a real missed opportunity, but probably better than...
I was just thinking the same thing, Ray.

When I read Bishop Gumbleton had died, I couldn't recall if he had been for or against what I had been for or against, but I immediately thought he had been a man of good will in his time, striving...
I'm very childish. My first thought was, "At your mom's house."

I am not a fan of the giant scoreboard [read: distraction], the noise, or baking in the sun at Comerica.
On a related note, I tried to take my kids to LCA for a hockey game and felt like I needed...
This design does not fit into the surrounding historic district at all. It will degrade the quality of the district and detract from its appeal. The Music Hall should do better.

How about a lid over 375; that way, they can leave the freeway as it is AND make people happy that the freeway doesn't cut apart the neighborhood anymore. Heck, they can even through up some worn...
I've been reading a lot about them, but can't wrap my mind around why I would be excited for a gas station where there are 4 within 1/2 mile of my house. We'll see!

Oh, and we can soon subtract this cost, too:

It strikes me that we can subtract the emergency management costs from the recent fire in Clinton Twp. from the marijuana tax revenues, since that business likely would not exist without the...
Don't forget to gamble on everything, everywhere.
This is an insult to the history of Hamtramck.
I completely agree. How absurd that we are legally judging people's intent on their skin color.
Just kidding.

Don't worry. I won't.

Speaking of demolishing urban structure for parking, here is the view in the same video of Brush looking south over Gratiot to 400 Monroe in Greektown. Most of what is seen here is now parking. It...
Came across this thread tonight while doing some Detroit history research. I’d like to suggest that the Owen Building was demolished in 1939 for the widening of Gratiot. Here’s a picture grabbed from...
It feels shameful what has happened to the Republican Party, once the party of responsible adults. This nation needs a party which advocates for a responsible path, so I hope the party will be...
This guy strikes me as a low-class jerk and I'm very disappointed that the autos didn't sink themselves, rather than give him a single dime.

As a casual observer, I find it surprising that the law school needs to be replaced. It always looked pretty new and nice to me. I guess tuition wasn't rising fast enough already.

The fountain is ugly and a violation of Mrs. Dodge's wishes, as I understand them, but its better to have an ugly working fountain than an ugly dead fountain, I suppose. So, Bully!
