40% black, 34% white, 16% hispanic, 7% Asian 1% other.

2. John Duggan [[Grand-nephew of Mike Duggan is Mayor) Democrat.

3. After 10 years of planning the new Mike Illitch Memorial tower will be built at the Monroe St. Block near Campus Martius site.

Microsoft will have 50 stories of the corporate offices. Compuware will lease 40 stories and 15 stories of private luxury condos.

4. The remaining residents living the Dexter-Davision to W. Grand Blvd neighborhood will have to vacant the area within 60 days for a private developer to build 5,000 new homes and urban farming projects. Protesters were fighting against the ideal saying their neighorhood is historic and can not be demolished. Detroit Police went into those near wrecked homes and raided those who refuse this eminent domain proposals.

"My granparents used to raise me here. I hate to see my home gone" said Javon Wheeler is long time resident on La Salle St near Clairmount St.


The remaining resident recieved up to 50,000 to relocate to occupied areas in Detroit or suburbs. Rich Horowritcz president of Urban Ventures said the new project will eliminate blight from the West Side Detroit Area.


5. In Detroit's West Side Warrendale neighborhood 10 year old black male was shot on the corner of Paul and Artesian St. when walking to Carver Elementary School Wednesday morning.

Check out Downtown Detroit! I see 4 new huge skyscrapers in the city center, much taller than GM Rencen. Could it lose its title as Detroit's tallest..soon??

Haha. Are you kidding me? They're still going to be trying to figure out what neighborhoods need to be involved in the rightsizing and trying to fight off Matty in court. That vision is more like 2100. We will all be long gone.
