I found this listing on Google:

Seems like a pretty damn good price if it's for the building I think it is...

Wasn't a sports figure behind the project when the announcements were made about condo conversion?
608 woodward appears to be just next to forans pub
The link is not working...

Oh man! That would make a GREAT location for another pocket park!
The link worked last night, but it doesn't work now.
Yes, it's gone, it was a listing for a foreclosure at 608 Woodward for $435,000.
The Vinton address is 600, not 608. 608 is the former Eph McNally's location.
And I woudn't expect the Vinton parties to respond. They are too snakebitten by many previous false rumors and speculations.
Is Ephs still open? Has Forans already taken over?

I was wondering the same thing? Does Forans serve lunch? My girlfriend and I plus a lot of out of state friends will be downtown for four days beginning next week for Autorama. I took some of the out of staters to Eph's last year and they loved it. I really don't want to go to Cobo Joe's or Jimmy John's. Have to find someplace new this year I guess.
Foran's [[Grand Trunk Pub) has great food and even better beer! My favorite spot downtown for sure.
is this tacit acknowledgment that people actually investing and doing things in the city avoid this messageboard, lest they be ambushed by a bunch of armchair urban planners and developers?

If they can't take a little bit of criticism and the bullshit that goes on here at DY, they have no business being in business. I'm quite sure someone who plans to do a project anywhere is prepared to listen to speculation and second guessing. First, they'll never get worse than what city hall and various building departments will lay on them. Then they have to deals with the cops, or lack thereof. I don't believe DY'ers pose much threat to development in Detroit.
Actually it's because this board is a waste of time. On that note, I have work tomorrow and should be sleeping.If they can't take a little bit of criticism and the bullshit that goes on here at DY, they have no business being in business.

It's a great building, take a look.
The sooner the better these stalled projects go to foreclosure, so they can be bought cheap and move the projects along.
Wasnt the Vinton project involving a group of "DetroitYES" members?

Yeah a couple of posters [[not me BTW) out of several hundred. Just ignore the idiots and don't turn into pricks [[not you toolbox) about it.
Unfortunately most of the posts above are correct. From the arm-chair city planners, to the holier-than-thou attitudes of some. What a nice big dysfunctional family we have here.
Exactly GOAT.
In defense of the "holier than thou", I'd be a bit pissy too if I was ruined financially by trying to actually do something with a blighted building and then had to listen to a bunch of arm chair developers far removed from the city and the state tell me what I did wrong.
