    Something I never thought about... the 4 children of Edsel & Eleanor Ford [Edsel was Henry Ford's only child] all died 15-45 years ago, except for William Clay Ford Sr., who made it to 2014 before...

    Anyone who says that the RenCen should come down to make the land available to the riverfront needs a reality check. Between the RenCen and Hart Plaza is that thingy we call the Detroit/Windsor...
  4. Detroit's Popular Ford Billionaire Siblings.

    Of course I am talking about William Clay Ford Jr. and his sister Sheila Firestone Ford Hamp, both billionaires in their own right.

    William Clay Ford Jr. gets all the attention for the restoration...

    From what I heard, other signs are supposed to be smaller. Not sure if that means the same individual cement posts with a letter on each one, or something requiring only 1 base. One will be at...

    Um.... am I missing something here? Or are those GM built parking structures also not free parking for the employees? :eek:

    Actually the 2 short [[22 story) towers are not owned by GM, and are leased up much better than the 39 story towers. :)

    Ryan, I have always loved your photo skills!! My most memorable image that you had posted once was when the Broderick Tower was still an empty hulk, and you snuck up towards the top, and took a...

    sirrealone... sorry for being snarky... had a cranky day today... but I don't think that location of employees matters as much anymore when it comes down to corporate performance.

    ^Silly us... we didn't know that centralizing all staff in 1 location was the answer to the problem. Here we thought product and development were the key. :eek:

    [Cough... Kmart & Troy]

    From what I heard... the city and business people were doing everything that they could to keep WTVS in Detroit, but that the GM of Detroit PBS [his name was Antonini... or something like that], and...

    ^ Let's put this into context.... GM has 857 workers at the RenCen. GM has 21,000 employees working at the Warren Tech Center.

    It's easy to put two and two together... they have been slowly...

    They currently occupy 1 1/2 towers of the 4 tower RenCen. If they only take 2 floors of the Hudson's Block... then they are shipping 90% of their downtown employees out to Warren... :eek:

    ^Agree

    Also, the 500 & 600 towers have a different owner than GM.

    Also, I think that if Gilbert does get ownership, he should give Blue Cross one of the towers for their HQ... next to RenCen...

    OK... came up with an idea... Gilbert buys it [[or is given it!)... but for bargaining chips...

    Tell AAA Michigan... which used to be located in the United Artists Building until the early...

    You could be right!

    As for tearing down the RenCen... that would be gawd awful... our most prominent downtown building. Lose our largest building complex... and states tallest tower! No way. ...

    This Detroit New article mentions only that GM is leasing the top 2 floors of the Hudson's block?? :confused:

    When GM bought the Rencen in the mid 1990s [[they paid $78 million, and sunk in another $500 million)... Ford occupied one of the towers, and shifted all 1,700 employees to Dearborn, leaving them...

    I am nowhere near as excited about this than most of you. What does this mean?

    1) I assume this means them moving into the block [[not the tower). That block has less than 1 million square feet...

    Interestingly enough, not all UNESCO sites have to be totally original. For example, the Hamburg Germany amazing warehouse district [built 1880-1927] of the massive port city [Germany's 2nd largest...
