just can't go wrong with brick and stone! Nice work!

I'll have to do another photo shoot down there before they take parts of it down. I remember reading the EIS/Alternative Analysis for the new bridge... one option to try and salvage the existing but it unfortunatly cost too much. The new alignment will be slighty different from the existing so I believe the old tower may be able to stay in place.

sadly, that question is still relevant... and still has no answer. -ezord

I totally agree Michi, to me, it looks like a crappy roadside holiday inn. And half of the site seems to be parking. "This is an extremely important piece to the renaissance of the city of Detroit," Jackson said. "We're taking historically industrial riverfront and transforming it to residential, recreational and retail." Well, I agree... I suppose... if we base this solely on what used to be there, but you have got to think farther and broader than that. I think if you hold development to the highest possible standard (and building on the riverfront SHOULD be at a VERY HIGH standard), then you truly are helping the renaissance. Anything less is merely a compromise.

That was not a fun walk (aside from some random girl hitting on me.. not a maxim girl unfortunatly), but I did enjoy the reponses i was getting (usually giggling) from people passing by... I didn't realize what they were laughing at until I got to my car and i had seriously an inch of snow accumulated on my tiger hat.

Ahh the snow... so beautiful... until you have to walk from downtown to wayne state. The good news? Seeing some of the lovely maxim girls along the way... ahhhhhhhhh yessss!

The Lions tried that stunt earlier this year against the saints... surprisingly, they couldn't even pull that off right. Way to beat the saints, losers.

I thought Seattle managed the clock quite well at the end of the half. Signed, John L. Smith

TIP: the smart will use the shuttle busses... the even smarter will use the line-haul bus routes. The average wait at Fairlane tonight was well over an hour. We hopped on SMART's Michigan Avenue route with virtully no waiting time... yes, it stops a little more, but its the way to go. over and out -ezord

more from the espn blog: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...klosterman/blog "3. TV weather experts claim it might snow here Sunday. This could be a problem. If there is more than four inches of powder, I predict citywide looting." I love sarcasm!

its not negative, its true man!

I just read the same thing and was laughing out loud at this... thanks for posting this. The media around here is hillarious, i just watched a 2 hour slappy fest on channel 7 about the super bowl... from them putting astoturf down on their set to stephen clark dancing with diana lewis, I think i've had enough.

was it tim mccormick? if it was, I reserve judgement, he's a real solid guy: objective and pretty intelligent... a high basketball IQ if you will.

my question is how did they keep their plans secret... did they not have to go through the planning commission?

Go Green!!!

don't forget Gary Moehler... that was Millen's first mistake.

The Lions hire Pete Karmanos as their next head coach: well, actually, they just hired some guy who looks like pete Lions set to name Marinelli coach, nearing agreement

private message (my initial plan was to post these in 2 messages) bottom line, protocol issues have no place in a discussion thread
