Not really sure what kind of business we will decide on at this point. However if it is indeed a bakery odds are good that someone will have to be there most of the time. Think about all of the...

The same admission and graduation standards should apply to everyone. However maybe Detroit just has a really terrible school system like Florida does and just likes to pass kids through to boost...

None of them saw the fall comming either apparently. However I would like to believe that a turnaround is on the way. Nothing wrong with having hope in times like these.

Well if it is a well lit area, you have company with you and it is only to get to somewhere close by that is something different entirely. Still I would never do that alone. I volunteer to match...

I don't care what city you live in walking outside after dark is NEVER a good idea and you won't catch me out after hours that is for sure!

This is just sad. I mean in most cities you may have a vandalized monument or two but to outright tear apart works of art for a few bucks is pretty much unheard of where I come from. It is such a...

"I will say this, if the bulding is still savageable, any business will have to include a component that will "serve the neighborhood." "

Perhaps I misunderstood your message? I don't mean to be...

I am checking out both ballrooms and several other buildings as possibilities. The Grande and The Vanity are my first picks due to their history and design but I am also looking at other buildings...

The Vanity, The Grande or both? Can you explain to me which areas of Detroit are decent and which areas are just too far gone? It seems like Detroit is just speckled with areas that are ok and areas...

I asked him that and he has not gotten the chance to reply to my email yet.

That is horrible! You would think that scrappers would stick to old homes and leave precious pieces of art alone. Who am I kidding? Old homes are in most cases works of art. They just don't care at...

Leo Early. He is working on a book in regards to The Grande Ballroom. Both buildings were designed by the same person and share many similarities. He knows alot more about them than I do.

What are the decent neighborhoods in Detroit and which ones are places to avoid? From what I can tell Detroit seems to be like a speckled egg when it comes to services and neighborhoods with patches...

I am quite impressed with all of the information that the posters here provide. It seems like alot of people have fond memories of this building.

I understand that Banksy is an artist but does he really have a clue to the fact that his art is putting buildings in danger of scrappers and so called art thieves?

My friends are in the Navy and they each have wonderful Navy husbands who will be moving with them. They are not afraid of hard work and nor am I. We hope to be able to do alot of the work ourselves...

I still want a nursery. However I have gotten several of my friends intersted in investing with me now provided we can come to some kind of group arrangement. This minimizes my financial risk and I...

Better yet how about if any scrap companies are caught with stolen wares that they are charged with the crime of looting themselves + fines for the repair and or restoration of the stolen property?...

I took a look at Google Images and I saw some truly beautiful instruments. Apparently the Fox Theater has or at one point had an organ that was from this company. I wonder what that looks like?

My biggest fear. However I am determined not to let a bunch of crooks define where I can and can not live and work. It is a shame what happened though and it is enough to make anyone think twice.

The young single adults group from my church participated in Habitat to build a new home for a family whos home had burned down. It is not as easy as it looks but it was fun and well worth the day...

They both have fantastic art schools. However having well educated children who are from Detroit would be a huge benefit. You want the youth to stay in Detroit and have children there and increase...

I am not blaming the teachers. Children however have a tendancy not to listen and learn from teachers that they don't connect with however and that was what I was trying to get at.

What is going...

We won't be using lenders or investors. This money is all our own. I wanted to do this all by myself but I showed these buildings to my friends and they have agreed to put up their own funds matching...

They don't have to be the actual original copy just a copy of the original blueprints. I figured maybe a library or city hall would have them on file or something somewhere. I plan on making a trip...
