No Bobby Ferguson? Someone needs an ass whuppin'.

Breaks my heart to see some of that beautiful old architecture coming down. Still, if they are as blighted as that press release would make them sound, its probably for the best.

Detroitnerd, are you referring to Lindbergh Elementary on Dearborn's west side?

Whoop de do on the job creation....with every truckload that goes to the landfill, they new hires are putting themselves out of a job. Too bad they're not interested in trying to salvage some of the brick from the older buildings....there's quite a market for that sort of thing.

Does anyone have an address list for these 10 schools to be demolished.

[[PS, they mentioned site restoration....I wonder what that entails?)

No, I went to Maples. I know, it has an extra floor, but ...

It's all just spin. It surprises me how they scarcely conceal what they're doing. Heck, in a way, using bond money to destroy buildings is like taking out a second mortgage to knock down your house. But since, you know, "Detroit is different," we're all supposed to just close our eyes and let them go ahead and destroy any possibility of re-using those buildings. Reminds me of those old stories of how when they were cleaning out old Burton, they intentionally broke all the furniture before Dumpsterizing it.
