On Wednesday Morning I attended a breakfast seminar for local media at Compuware presented by their Chief Technology Officer Paul Czarnik. Beyond getting some very interesting analysis of website performance I got to meet up with former Detroit Free Press reporter and friend Bill McGraw [of Detroit Almanac fame] who now works for Compuware and to so see some of the stunning vistas from within and without the facility. Striking was the appearance of the Quicken move in and whose employees are already at work on the floors shown here in this grainy cell phone snap. Coming Summer 2010 is now came.


Outside the Quicken welcome is more striking. Where Barry Sanders and Steve Yzerman once presided over Campus Martius from the side of the Cadillac Square Building, Quicken geeksters wave to bystanders.


Vicente's Cuban Restaurant makes its welcome clear. The influx is certain to bring a an uptick to nearby businesses.


Setup for a noontime event on Campus Martius spreads the welcome.
