  1. Jeeze, I vaguely remember as a small child the stands giving great views of the city, but never this good. Seriously, we used to watch fireworks from here when we were little, but I never rememered the views being that great.

    Thanks, Jeff. Brings back memories.

  2. When I looked into living there a few months back I checked out a unit on the 28th floor. My fiance literally had to pull me back from the window. I almost took it just for the view. Good thing I didnt, I'd never get any work done.

    When I move out of the apartment I am in now, I would like to look into something downtown, and always thought the Millender Center would be awesome. So yeah, if anyone has pics of views from it, that'd be sweet.

  3. wooo weeee! Downtown and CoPa were electric tonight. Kenny Rogers was masterful. My voice hurts now...Traffic was a pain...for some reason, they didn't have cops at the intersections they normally do. Grand River and the Fisher was a mess...it took 30 minutes to go like 1/2 a mile. It was a joke. Once we got out of that though, it was smooth sailing.

    GO TIGERS!

    It looked as though brighter additional lighitng was added to the Penobscot, and that a concious effort was made to leave lights on in the Comerica Tower. The Ren Cen needs more lighting at night...you could barely see it.

  4. I think what is cool is when you are in Downtown Windsor driving or walking down the streets, you look ahead and you see all the skyscrapers in Detroit, and they look they they are right there in Windsor with you. Anybody have pics of that?

  5. That basketball movie that was filmed in the MCS months ago finally came out. My friend went to see the movie, Crossover, the other day. It ended up being an incredible waste of time. His advice: wait until you can rent it so that you can skip through everything that isn't the MCS.

    A few scenes were filmed on the campus of University of Detroit Mercy too. I will probably rent it just to check out our campus. I wish they would have filmed some in Calihan Hall, our basketball arena.

  6. And "8 Mile" is supposed to be based back in the 80s ,I believe, when the city was at rock bottom.

    You know what movie really paints Detroit in a really bad light, is the movie "The Crow". Of course they didn't shoot it in Detroit, and it is based off of a comic book type story, so everything is always raining and dark...but it really paints the city in a bad way for those who haven't been here. It was made in 94. It looks more like Tim Burton's Gotham city.

    I haven't seen 8 mile the movie in quite a while, but I do find it unfair the judgements people make on the city. The All-Star game and Superbowl have really helped our overall image in the public. The problems are obviously much deeper than abandoned buildings and shotty road work and poor lighting...but the city is headed in a positive direction IMO.

  7. The Detroit profile was started about this time last year. Nobody really got that serious about the city profile thing until recently.

    Good work Allan, but I was wondering why you didn't add University of Detroit Mercy's sports to the Sports section. And for that matter Wayne States too, both are in the NCAA. UDM is NCAA DIV 1 and Wayne St. is NCAA DIV 2.
