It just that Detroiters, including some of those in power, don't realize the gem that we have in Detroit. Didnt the elected officials wanted John King Bookstore to remove it's banner from the building that stated it being the number 2 most beautiful book store in the world
    Chicago didn't build that tall in the 20's. all their pre-war skyscrapers are the same height as Detroit's. Also I never heard of the city having any kind of height limit. there were planned skyscrapers in the city before the great depression that were going to be the tallest in the world. I think your tour guide didn't really know what they were talking about lol.
