Thanks for those few extra pictures. I still find it odd that there is so little documentation for an addition that stood for nearly 40 years. Being that all four images came from the same source.

I'm surprised that it is so difficult to find pictures of the Gunnar Birkerts addition to the DIA prior to Michael Graves' renovation. Does anyone know of additional exterior / interior photos...

I assumed it was meant more as a play on the city motto.

Noticed that on Michigan Ave and 18th, there's a new poster that reads "Resurrected from its ashes, Old Western Market soon will be re-born." It also says at the bottom, "Old Western market LLC". Is...

While the sentiment is decent, the decision to bring back train transit to the station would be the result of highly detailed market studies - not the whims of a few hundred people. Not to mention...

With the news today the Conserva's Matt Baldridge is taking over as executive chef at Republic restaurant, my thoughts were spurred to think back on what has been going on there since the...

The basement concrete structure has been poured, the CMU core towers are built, and the steel framing is starting to go in.

This photo is of progress from a few weeks ago.

You might be confusing the efficiency of a building footprint with the efficiency of a residential layout. The two variations on core location would not have any significant effect on the use of the...

Quite the opposite actually. The core being in the tower makes it more difficult for apartments because the spaces between the core and exterior become difficult to utilize without great cost or...

"The upper floors would make great apartments with those views and large windows."

I've been thinking the exact same thing for the last few years. I worked on the renovation of the Tower on the...

"The exact nature of the investigation was unclear but the searches come amid questions about Taylor police officers pocketing vehicle inspection fees and allegations that Sollars and a city...

The Terrible Ilitches facebook page has great summaries of all the development they are very obviously not moving forward with.

Most of the other Detroit firms are doing really well, so it was a surprise to see both of those announcements. The firm I work at is actually in hiring mode.

Are there photos missing from the original post?

That's a bit unfortunate of an outcome though. Looks like they did a really good job with the renovation. I expected something a little more exciting. Thanks for the info ndavies!

The building at the north corner of Rosa parks and the Lodge Service Drive has recently been renovated and had a tall fence constructed all the way around it. Anyone know what it is?

I thought...

I'll admit I haven't seen it yet either - simply because there are too many movies out right now that I want to see. If you go to Rotten Tomatoes right now, there are over 10 movies out that are...

Not at all. That's a really low budget for a movie of this scale. Opening week sales typically only account for 25% of a movie's domestic sales. On top of that, it is incredibly uncommon that a...

This is the kind of reporting that I come to these forums for.

In fairness to Pure Detroit, their tours are very well-researched and informative - even for a native Detroiter. Based on their free architectural tours that I've done, I imagine that this tour will...

I'm laughing so hard that he thought Daily Mail was a MORE reputable source.

Incorrect, you need to check your facts. This program was initiated in 2016 under the Obama administration.

Good that the Standard Savings and Loan building is being renovated but negative trade-off is that its by a shady organization. What are people's thoughts on this?

I live in Detroit and grew up in the metro area. I think you may have missed the ball on this story as the "abandoned tourism" story is very old news here. Books and blogs have come and gone and I...

The show was pretty funny for a pilot episode. Most comedy pilot episodes are dreadfully bad and non-representative of the actual show. But I'd say this one shows a lot of promise. I'll definitely...
