Really, downtown Royal Oak needs more apartment buildings?? Maybe more residential development around the downtown but not right at 11 and Main! I haven't tried to find the numbers but they've been developing Main Street north of 11 Mile. It's like a canyon of skyscrapers! I'd rather see more residential development on the perimeter of downtown rather than on Main Street. Still within walking distance.

With all the apartment buildings and parking garages, I'm not seeing a true civic vision of what the downtown and city can be. I miss the old artsy establishments. Need a whole lot more diverse shopping and entertainment options to attract people of all ages to spend an afternoon or an evening here.

BTW...the Royal Oak Music Theatre hosts more than a handful of concerts each year! 8 scheduled through April 30. 11 on tap for May.
