$15 billion? $1.5 billion in private funding is building a high speed rail between Orlando and Miami [[+200 miles). If only Detroit had Mickey Mouse, eh?

Oops. I guess he died. Sorry.

Whatever happened to this guy? Last I heard, a "big announcement" was expected about a year ago.

"Detroit can be like Berlin and be a new frontier for artists and creative people to live," he...

My family and I visited Indianapolis last week. Their downtown mall - Circle Centre - clearly attempts to integrate with the rest of the city. This is achieved only because I found downtown Indy to...

Not that kind of coke....petroleum coke...from Alberta oil sands...piling up along the river front. Apparently the Canadians aren't too happy with the view. This is the most popular article trending...

I'm sure we saw sketches of a similar design for Tiger Stadium and I know the funding wasn't there [[or was it?), but it sure would have been nice to have seen a similar, innovative approach to...

Agreed. Not a big fan of "free for all" approach in which traffic is halted completely and pedestrians can cross in any direction. I would prefer a ped bridge or tunnel similar to the method used in...

This rendering of Papa Joe's seems to suggest Cadillac Square will remain open to traffic.

Does anyone else think Bedrock/Gilbert will bundle his properties into a REIT and issue an IPO? Given the low initial investment and growth potential, it seems like a viable option and the timing is...

I wasn't trying to justify anything; just merely addressing the fact that, on a national level, more people die from auto accidents. Not sure the manner in which they died is relevant - dead is...

The changing gun control climate in some states has gun manufacturers based there considering a move. Colt in CT and Magpull in CO are two recent examples. Understanding the controversial nature of...

I disagree. There is evidence to suggest a strong core will attract people, companies and, thus, jobs to the state/region. Attracting young people is key to this growth. Today, young people who...

I have always admired the building directly behind the national [[828 Bates, I believe?), but encroached by the Bates Garage to the north and another modern abomination to the south. Love the...

I agree - 7-Elevens replaced all the White Hens in Chicago a few years ago.

That is to conceal the HVAC units, but I agree - it does not integrate well with the surroundings. Even the berms in front of the RenCen [[designed for same purpose) had "some" esthetic appeal.

My vote for best ribs in town is the Oxford Inn, Royal Oak.

I often compare Midtown Detroit to Westwood L.A. in that a) both lack the density of other cities comparable in size and b) both favor cars over public transit [[although L.A. has a great bus...
