Construction at former police precinct on Woodward

Building a new temporary home of the Wayne County Sheriff. Or course because the construction crew is using our taxpayer's money to build a new supermaximum Wayne County Jail next to the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice next to juvenal hall.

What to do of the old Wayne County Jail?

It would be a huge hit! "Spend the night overnight in a JAIL CELL." I know it sounds weird, but after watching the Travel Channel and HGTV, today's travelers are looking for interesting and unique experiences.

The Liberty Hotel in Boston is just that! www.libertyhotel.com. I'm hoping that 1300 Beaubien will become a hotel/condos.

Technically, they didn't build it. They just rehabbed an existing building. Albeit much work did go into that project. I'll see in person tomorrow when I drop off our payroll info.

I'm pretty sure the plan is to demolish the two jail buildings downtown. The demo on the old sheriff administration office is supposed to start this weekend.
