Driving from Belle Isle today, I detoured on Riopelle and starting traveling along that area and had to shake my head. How did the Young, Archer and Kilpatrick administrations allowed this area to rot and die? The area represents old Detroit. Just drive on Atwater and check out the bricks on the road. That's old Detroit for you.

I remembered going to the bars in the area: The Rhino, the Soup Kitchen, Bastilles, the Key Club and Detroit could have pushed this area like San Diego did with the Gaslamp Quarter. What do you think?

Anyone know when the nightclubs BCs and Feathers were torn down? The area has changed so much I forgot where they were located.
