    Default What happened downtown?

    I was wondering as Detroit was back in the day a major city with tons of wealth and a huge population, why didn't the power brokers build more tall buildings downtown?

    True we got the Penobscot, Guardian, Bulr, First National, Cadillac Square and Renaissance Center, Gas Building and a few others and recently the Compuware and that glass building across the street, and then further up Woodward there's the old GM headquarters and Fisher Building but that's pretty much it.

    Even historically smaller cities like Indianapolis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Charlotte, etc. have a larger downtown.

    I think that we should have buildings in that parking lot across from Campus Martius, up Woodward just pass I-375, on the riverfront besides GM and behind the Main Post Office. This would be real impressive.
