    I cruised thru there in early June [[I think I mentioned earlier in this thread that I worked there late 90s-early 00s). Saw no signs of real renovation. In fact the back areas look terrible. Peeped...

    And I am blown away that it took so long to reach this conclusion.

    Don't have anything useful to share but you have my best wishes. Place was pretty sketchy in its waning days but it seemed to have good bones. The time is certainly right to reopen.

    This has to be setting some kind of record for stupid thread. Move along, folks. Nothing to see here.

    That post came across as too negative. It is a beautiful facility, made to last 1000 years, and a spectacular setting for urban sports. I just hope they can work out the details. When you watch the...

    Seeing as I live across the street from Keyworth, might be time to check in. 1) The old school reigning over Playfair Field was demolished long ago, and seems magnificent in some of the old photos....

    Worked there 2001-2002. Spooky then, empty and run down. Never thought they'd ever be able to do anything with that large a property. Seems like a complete gut job to me.

    Agreed. Been drinking tap my whole life and don't get the bottled water thing. Even fill a canteen in the morning and take it with me. Our water, compared to other places I've visited, seems clean...

    I will say that in retrospect my years in Detroit often felt like I lived in a bedroom community. Attractions, restaurants, bars, yes. But gas, groceries, clothes? Before I left the suburbs after...

    I've been here for more than half a decade now. I live in one of the lousier parts of town, and it felt risky to me at first too, at least compared to Woodbridge where I was. But I grew to love it....

    Just curious, as I drive past here every day. Is this the building between Omaha Automation and the old Ivan Doverspike carcass? That would make for a bustling little corner, with the RIC, Wolverine...

    Just outside the city proper, but try Yemen Cafe on Jos Campau between Hamtramck Drive and Holbrook. Also a vote here for Caper's on Gratiot.

    I lived in RO Townhip until about 8 years ago. Tightly knit community, multi- generational, and extremely safe. And In the interest of full disclosure, I'm a white guy. The economics of the...

    The Town Center has a glass covered atrium between two of the towers. It's a nice all-weather venue for Chamber of Commerce conventions, etc. Lodge and Evergreen.

    Passed by the fires at Charles and Fenelon on the way home from work. Quite a scene with folks dousing the brush to keep it from spreading. Blowing north up the block. Also, the grass and brush is...

    Sorry for the meandering, but can someone tell me why the Iron St. Loft building seems to have remained so vibrant? Less than a mile from the Globe, yet it really seems to have clung to life.
