Look at Grand River. Look at Trumbull. Desolate. They've done absolutely nothing.


I guess you hate chain pizza places and big box stores too.
I'll answer that. Yeah, I hate chain store pizza! I make my own pizza. Taught to me by my Italian nonna. Mmmmm!

BIG Box? How about Big Bucks? Brick and mortar stores have WAY more overhead than, say Internet based operations. How was the parking when you shopped at Amazon last time? See what I mean? To fill the customer/community relations gap, Mom & Pop operations should enjoy a revival [[if the gov't will give small businesses a break). Remember, most jobs come from SMALL businesses. They can give what the BBs can't.

That being said, I hate the Illichs, too. They've done more harm than good. Are they so different than the vandals that destroy buildings one at a time, piece-by-piece by hand, rather than take a wrecking ball to marble and fine wood and flippantly tossing it in some landfill?

They've raped, pillaged and destroyed so much human community that no ritzy-ditzy theater or giant sports monument can ever make better.

I look forward to the eventual comeuppance of the Illich menace. A swift, but crippling IRS or similar tax problem would certainly be tasty!
