New retail coming to Willy's Overland Lofts

[Zozo]

Can't wait to get a Run Detroit t-shirt. The ones I have seen around town are pretty cool.

A 5-year lease? Now that's NO pop-up.

The lofts do not belong to Willy.

Finally a sports apparel store in Detroit. It has been years. Atheletes Foot was the last one in the downtown/midtown area.

It's just who we are

How long have Rundetroit been in business? Where are they currently located?

"Images of America" published a very good photo book of the Cass Corridor, including a picture of the Willys lofts. I'm glad to see that the neighborhood is doing so much better than it did in the l970s.

... in the l970s.

You typed a lower-case L instead of a one. It used to be that typewriters didn't have a one key because typists could use a lower-case L instead. Did you do that out of habit from using an old typewriter?

Sorry, I just couldn't resist asking that off-topic question.

Ford's
Meijer's
Chrysler's

In the case of
Ford
Meijer and
Chrysler
that was the surname of the owner/founder. Being a lifelong resident of the region I understand that we add the possesive 's to the name.

The Willys lofts derive their name from the fact that the building was once the service facility for Willys-Overland cars, named for John North Willys [[pronounced "Willis") not someone whose first or last name is Willy.
