'sUOTE=313WX;371197]Actually, Midtown is just a PC rebranding of the Cass Coridor, since most old skool Detroiters associated that with Skid's Row [[which it was in the 1970s-1990s).

The name "Midtown" didn't even exist as recently as the 1990s. It was simply the Cass Corridor.[/QUOTE]

I thought the term "Cass Corridor" came from some urban renewal report in the late 1950's/early 1960's when there was a move to bulldoze most of the area akin to the "skid row" project.
