No it won't be a casualty. At the location it's at Grand River and Cass are too close together.... and Cass will not be closed so it can be part of an arena. That's not a good spot for an arena. Although it could be right across the street from one if the west Foxtown site were chosen.

I just came across an old bookmark... this may have been a map made by our old member VERIFIABLE... who was making detailed maps of what property the Ilitch's do own. This particular map doesn't really include the Midtown land.....

That didn't stop him from tearing down the Madison-Lenox to, um, put up a parking lot.

I don't know if you saw what I posted above, but the workers on site were quoted as saying they are not prepping for demolition, but rather doing much-needed repairs on the concrete ceiling in the basement. I don't think they'd be fixing the basement if they wanted to tear down the building.

Yes, I did see what you wrote. I was addressing specifically what Gistok wrote. I hope the workers are providing you with accurate information. But, based on Ilitch's track record, I'm skeptical until we see the finished product.
