The Ren Cen is so close to Greektown [[casino, nightlife, bars, restaurants, a relatively safe area after-dark, etc) on foot/walking distance.

A bunch of other stuff is super-close-by to the Ren Cen too, like Cobo Hall, plus easy access along Jefferson Avenue to Belle Isle.

Do something with it - the Ren Cen is a good part of Detroit, even if Hart Plaza is still looking a bit 'rusty'.

I'm sure the plan was always to make the Ren Cen a 'showcase area' for the City of Detroit... so make it happen!
That's a great idea, which bodes the question....What exactly?
