So we can't sit around fiddling our thumbs too much longer The time we needed to find our center so to speak was 1980. That's why those who realize this have jumped the ship and given up [[including Comerica actually).
Well, this is a corporate move. Detroit's corporate heads aren't very forward-thinking, generally. By the time they "discover" downtown, it will have been because of all the small business people who are making it happen today.
