Finally, an update:

I was surprised by this too because the Villages CDC was the primary sponsor and beneficiary of the Tour. You'd think they would have known about the yard sale in advance!
The "annoying bike thing" was the 11th-annual Tour de Troit, an event that draws 5,000 riders from across the country for a 30-mile bike ride through the city:

The TextMyBus service was developed by an independent non-profit, not DDOT, so it's silly to gripe about how the funding was spent. This was a project developed by the Detroit fellows from Code for...
I know this board gets heated sometimes, but I really don't think these kind of ugly personal attacks belong in a public forum. There are plenty of reasons to criticize council members on merit...
That's fair. I didn't mean to repeat the phrasing. I also respect your decision to carefully choose where you purchase gas. Like you, I frequent a gas station near WSU. It costs more, but I feel safe...
Thousands of people every day. Davison between Dexter and Linwood is one of the busiest commercial corridors in the city of Detroit. There's a full size grocery store, a hardware store, a Foot...
"When Detroit Mayor Dave Bing says everything is on the table he means it –- even Belle Isle.
Bing, speaking this afternoon to the Free Press editorial board, said in an effort to streamline...
I found the press release online. See the PDFs on the right under "Attachments & Media" for more information:

I would recommend the Phillips Manor in Midtown [[51 E. Willis). It's affordable, and the apartments are spacious and historic. One downside is that there's no secure parking [[don't waste your money...
I would suggest several strategies:
First, collect as many signatures as possible, and in addition to sending them to the Lighting Department, send them to each City Council member, the mayor's...
No. The Whitney now serves mediocre food and mediocre service, but it continues to charge above average prices. It's only strength is the decor, and even that is wanting. Many of the chairs need to...
"New construction is a unusual sight in our neighborhood -- yet construction of Oakman Place Apartments is under way on Oakman Boulevard ust west of Hamilton. Lutheran Child & Family Service of...
I'm happy to report that the El Moore is already slated for redevelopment. It has been purchased by the same folks who've been rehabbing The Green Garage:

Of all the articles published on rightsizing in the past few years, this one was one of the worst. The Obama administration has never considered bulldozing "entire neighborhoods" in cities across the...
These two are the higlight for me. I can only imagine what life in Detroit was like at that time. The pace of change was just incredible.
Woodward & Canfield in 1905:

As opposed to the folks that drive cars who will gladly pay a toll for every single road they drive on and a fee for every parking space they use? No. All transit is subsidized.
Depending on where your job is, yes, there are a handful of neighborhoods where you can live just fine without reliable access to a car. If, say, you work downtown, you could easily live in Midtown,...
I expect to make it out for the first time this year. Not sure what I'll bring yet. I'm leaning toward snickerdoodles.
I'm afraid the News missed the real story. From Crain's Detroit:
Unpaid taxes, utility bills put Russell Center owner, Flagstar in tussle
The iconic Russell Industrial Center building is at...
Unrelenting cynicism has been a feature of this board for as long as I've been reading it. Yet I keep coming back because it's still the best source of information on what's happening in Detroit, and...
Notice the name change? The "Shoppes at Gateway" has become the "Detroit Gateway Park Outlet Mall." I don't think that bodes well for the quality of the eventual development.
I think it's great you want to get more involved in Detroit, and Michigan Avenue could definitely use some sprucing up. My recommendation would be that you make some connections with existing...
