This discussion of fast food might all be silly anyway. Knowing Gilbert's penchant for "unique businesses" I'm not sure a McDonald's would even be in the picture.

I do like the idea of a McDonald's in this location. Like it or not, every major city has fast food in its downtown, and its a huge foot-traffic draw.

A good fast-casual like Chipotle would be...

SEPT 17 - Thursday
USWNT plays at Ford Field against Australia as part of their victory tour. Pregame at Thomas Magee's, night before party at Pappy's.

Since the article is pretty vague, can anyone tell me where they want to build it? Next to the fire station? In the lot along Davison near Hatherly?

Ah whoops, I was just going by the map in the article that has a point on 7800 E Jefferson, thanks.

What's the chance of them allowing the city to include the land in the riverwalk? It would be nice if the riverwalk actually stayed along the river and had better continuity. Riding bikes out to...

What is the route for the boat races? Do they just go around Belle Isle?

I find it interesting that all this news out there about the guy mentioning Nike, but nobody seems to even bat an eye at the mention of Under Armour. Was there an announcement about that already or...

no one ever knows if Ilitch will follow through on a development, unless it's a stadium

Nah, they're going to take it down every time it rains or snows, or when it drops below 50 degrees.

One thing that's big with this that I hadn't really thought about before is that they will serve breakfast. Not a lot of good breakfast options in the RenCen right now, and the lines at Timmy's and...

11. Detroit City FC's final regular season home game 7:30 Friday night @Cass Tech

I play soccer there in the DCFL every week. I think the site itself could definitely have a lot of potential, but if it were revamped to include commercial/residential, it would be quite isolated....

It probably would do better there, but that would require 1: vacancy, and 2: probably a much higher rent. Hell, Olga's ended up filing bankruptcy due to opening a restaurant there.

I wonder if this will affect the Potbelly at all. Pretty similar markets. Glad they'll be joining, the Wintergarden has been a pretty big failure as far as retail goes. I assume this will go in where...

Not to mention Mexico. I've had season tickets for DCFC three years now and love it, but I'm pretty sure there are better atmospheres to be found at some Mexican stadiums, in addition to some of the...

Cool stuff! I added the Outdoor Adventure Center, DuCharme Place, and Orleans Landing for developments, as well as the Crowne Plaza as completed. Will add any others that seem to be missing. What do...

Adding lanes is the part that needs to be dispensed

11. Detroit City FC vs. Madison on Saturday night at 7:30 @Cass Tech.

I think we have different definitions of two blocks... Regardless, MGM is certainly an option. Anywhere downtown is still about a mile walk at most, plus the people mover is probably about 1/2 mile...

The Whisky Parlor has replaced Motor City Wine. I believe it is the same owners as Grand Trunk.
