Looked like just a clean up crew not actual construction. Seemed like they were there just to get rid of the mess.

Still love the sign

What? Why are there all these restaurants opening downtown? Don't they know that downtown Detroit is a cesspool where nobody works, all the buildings are vacant and there isn't a single employer? Where roving packs of homeless wander all day? If they were smart, they'd locate in our beautiful suburbs, which never have any problems and are filled with promise! Don't they understand that Detroit is on the way down and will never, never, ever return? What a waste of resources!

Good Girls Go to Paris closed the tiny service window shop but are still open in the much larger, walk in and sit down space in the Park Shelton Apt. building. A little far for my lunchtime walk, but a new hot dog place has opened in the old space, yum.
