I haven't been around Bert or his empire in years, but the original Bert's on Broadway was run by his son who later ran for City Council at the very end of the Kwhyme regime.

He had CONSIDERABLE real estate holdings, and I'd bet never gave this property up.

I wouldn't expect the quality of marksmanship to improve with this new crowd, but likely they'll still be shooting up the street.


I'd be pleasantly surprised if this turns out to not be the case. There is now a Z-building in the rest of that block, and it will be a Gilbert security juggernaut...so I expect Broadway to be one of the fronts of the Gentrification Wars of Detroit.

[[that is how some people view the onslaught of white skin in this town...not me, I'm just observing!)
