This article made some sense. https://thump.vice.com/en_us/article...us-techno-loftFor years I knew folks from 1217 [[and the "Toys" building at the corner-Motormouth magazine threw a cool Christmas party there once)-a guy involved in early Techno, an ethnic band, a bunch of hardcore drug idiots in a band I avoided, some female activists living above, etc. [[probably not the one who wrote this, but I did catch a bicyclist outside who we talked with and warned about a certain nearby afterhours-he most likely wrote the article). While the stairwells were not in great shape, many lofts were. How Detroit's "improvements" are affecting others is to be called into question. Especially, when I'm running into folks from my generation snuffing at all these new, fancy eateries that they can't even afford to dine in.
