    I found this in a Crains article from 2011 in regards to Richard Baron:

    Baron was turned away from Detroit developments by former mayors Coleman Young and Dennis Archer. He skipped Kwame Kilpatrick, saying, "I wasn't very excited about his administration."

    He responded to an early request for proposals on Tiger Stadium, pitching the idea of a YMCA on the ground level with residential housing built into the upper levels.

    So maybe it's not such a stretch? His company is doing the Strathmore.

    As for these tidbits from far and wide by business people regarding Detroit's former mayors, they speak volumes about the current condition of the city.
