I assume that the proximity of the Muslim Center is what they are banking on. It will be interesting to see if something really comes of this.

If that's the case, I think they'd have a better chance rebooting the area around 7 Mile and John R. At least that strip of 7 Mile still has some businesses [[including a community center) and new housing nearby. But hey, if Woodrow Wilson works out, more power to them.
