Because of construction on Fort, I wound up in Oakwood Heights [[where all signs lead to Giovanni's), and I was surprised by just how many houses were completely gone. It looks like Marathon's plan to buy up and demolish homes in the neighborhood has worked quite well. There's hardly a house left on many streets.

Judging at Google Maps, the change occurred practically overnight. You almost have to wonder if Giovanni's is next. Once the homes are all gone, either Marathon is going to need that spot Giovanni's in, or the industrial overgrowth is gonna get so ugly that Giovanni's is going to have trouble attracting almost anyone.

Maybe it's time for Dan Gilbert to offer him Angelina Italian Bistro's spot on Grand Circus Park, seeing how much he hates Angelina's hours and whatnot.
