I hate Atlanta for several reasons.

YES. They should have a train between Mcnamara and the North Terminal.
I remember seeing it [[off the Lodge in the Cass Corridor?) when going to the Bus station with my Late Mom and Grandmother, back in the Summer of 1973. There was a Big rocking chair on the roof. Made...
This is an Update. I find a DISTURBING number of properties that were surveyed on the Makeloveland website [[?By the Detroit landbank) went from "good" or "Fair" to "Poor" and, Alarmingly, from...
I've always wondered about that, Too. I DO know that the Downtown was somewhat built up by 1803, but THEN the whole thing burned like Chicago three generations later. Then it was redesigned with the...
I was searching the makeloveland website last night. It shows the survey of ALL Detroit properties-houses, apartments, businesses, etc. Some houses were evaluated in 2013, and yearly thereafter. I...
I'm a latecomer to this Party, it seems. I Live in Southfield, in the 12 mile/inkster area. I remember when my late parents took me to the restaurant in that Hotel for my Levey Junior High School...
I'm Late to this Party-LOL. But I wonder when that long gone housing on the Michigan Ave. Skid Row was built.
The Late 19th Century or before??
The early 20th Century??
There is some historic apartments, and Victorian homes on Charlotte Street. This is part of the character of the City.
I got into Uncle Sam's with false ID back in 1978. You know, when your'e invincible? My late Mom was NOT happy about my going anywhere-even at age Twenty two! lol. The Firebird advertised itself on...
And Ilitch had the Old Unitarian Church torched Last Week
Well, those big old hotels we speak of, REPLACED Victorians in the Cass Corridor, and then became slums themselves-just as The Jeffries and other PJs became slums and had to be removed. We need to...
Not many old Victorians around the D anymore, except the few saved in Brush Park, Woodbridge and Corktown. And yes, there are a few in Midtown that are well preserved. The question in My mind, is...
It's NOT just the Labor...they would bring cultural diversity. In Queens New York, they have Latinos, Orientals and Indopak sections. Lots of stores and restaurants. Same with other big cities....
Well East Dearborn, or rather the Polish and Hungarian [[DelRay) east of east Dearborn has quite a LOT of stuff in the 1880s and 1890s along with Mexican Village. There is even a few Antebellum [[!)...
Boy, HE is getting worse than the late Orville Hubbard! It's a Native American reservation, not "Indian." A few curry shops would Help Detroit. And I don't want to think about the racial name he...
Well, like in the Bronx and other places, they Could gut-renovate it. Hard to move something that big.
I can link to place promo but when I try to get it from Google I just get the contemporary building surveys not the 1976 stuff. All the old stuff on the numbered streets-especially 17th. Also 12th, I...
converted and THEN demolished?? Must have sucked for the Seniors!
WOW! Parame's liquor store-1879! I guess downtown isn't as old b/c it already HAD cycles of renewal [[including after the 1803 city fire "up from the ashes")
The Chinatown on Michigan Ave. was removed for being a "Slum" and while the original skid row WAS there, it was Not a Slum. So...they moved to the Corridor, and the displaced winos, etc., moved to...
I wonder what the story is with that house. Bet there were other Victorians nearby [[that is a known fact in general in that area) replaced with turn-of-the century apartments/hotels/sros that went...
well, I know that if we have NO Urban renewal, we could have a lot of rotting buildings, but most cities replaced the old with failed housing projects, stadiums and parking lots. In Europe buildings...
Now I Know that this is the southwestern part of Midtown nee "Cass Corridor" and the properties south of MLK that remain are quite slummy. But it seems a shame that a house that lasted THAT long...
Why can't anyone stand guard there?? Or retrofit the homes with sprinklers and inert them with nitrogen inside??
