Malls [[a bad idea from the start) are finally starting to fall out of fashion. A "mall" is exactly what downtown doesn't need: We don't want to re-create the suburbs downtown. While we do need the...

While Chene street was once a viable retail district, the surrounding neighborhoods were all timber framed workers houses. At some point it's just too expensive to maintain them, but with the city...
You ask......"How can any sort of fresh food be sold nearby?" What about the poor folks who are still living down there? They have to breathe that foul air every day.
Hey Kryptonite.......Things sure are "a whole lot different now". The ehene & Ferry markey won't ever come back because there's nothing there to come back to. Beyond that, there's no-one in the...

While I admire the guys who created Slows and I credit them with bringing renewed life to a previously desolate strech of Michigan Ave, the...
The Soup Kitchen and The Woodbridge Tavern in the warehouse district, Benno's in West Village, Koreana on Gratiot north of 7 mile [[best korean food I've ever had outside of Korea), Cardinalli's [[on...
It's a shame to see that what used to be St. Stanislaus church is being/has been stripped of many items but it looks like the folks that did the "stripping" were carefully removing itmes that stil;l...
I remember Medbury Street. Banaszynski's lived on Medbury just behind Milano Bakery that was on the coner of Dubois and the Ignaczak family lived on the SE corner of the same intersection. The...
So many of you sound so young and optimistic about Detroit......just as I was back in the late 60's/early 70's when I was a teen-ager growing up in the city.......in a pretty gritty part of the city....

First of all, most of the space that's coming down has been vacant for some time and those buildings were nothing notable from an architectural standpoint...so they weren't worth saving. The...

I remember bowling at Chene & Trombley. There was also a Chene & Trombley Market run by the Niedbala's. They had two son, Gerry and Kenny, and has a terrific lottery business. When the GM plant...
St. Stannies, Chene Street, Werner's soda fountian, the Home Theater, Dan & Vi's Pizza, etc. all bring back so many memories of growing up in this part of Poletown. I remember trick-or-treating at...
