This site is full of great thinkers. Here's a theoretical question about "doing."

If you had unlimited resources [[time, money, connections), what "dream project" would you tackle to help build Detroit? I'll start with this example:

I'd interest House of Blues in coming to Detroit by restoring the National Theater on Monroe as a concert venue, and building out bar/dining and kitchen space on the open lot next door. I'd involve the public with a "put your name in lights campaign" to relight the National's spectacular façade by buying a light bulb/fixture - thus helping with overall restore costs. [[By my count there are 381 fixtures/opportunities awaiting donors.) By doing so, Detroit gets another downtown attraction, and Detroit reclaims an amazing building.

[[And I noticed just this week that tax delinquency notices have been posted on the National and the adjacent lot. Owners: better get your act together.)

OK – your turn...
