I took a little streetview tour of the block and could imagine a complex that would be charming and functional.
A huge part of the charm factor can be found in the old brick street surface on 22nd, the architectural detail of the 1916 era building and - of course - whatever can be saved/recreated on Michigan Ave.
During the aforementioned streetview tour I did espy a gentleman painting the front of the Highwaymen’s Clubhouse and smoothie bar a tasteful shade of black.
Is it code for biker clubhouses to be painted matte black?
Is it a Hollywood cliche that bikers have embraced so as to perpetuate the belief that danger lurks within?
I also officially apologize to all grocery-getting moms and their French-fry encrusted mini-vans.
It's an old and familiar story. The City of Detroit just couldn't manage to get out of it's own way on an issue they were once at the forefront on. Now this issue is just passing them by. The lack of recreational provisioning has caused their own to head to the suburbs. 'House of Dank' has opened a beautiful store in Centerline. The city now has 4 recreational shops. Hazel Park has 4. Mt. Clemens is about to open 'Jars' on Groesbeck just North of Cass. Most if not all of these dispensaries deliver to your front door. Instead of allowing their numerous medical dispensaries to compete with the new rec market, they continue to handcuff their own businesses, and the revenue goes elsewhere.
