Just saw the Motor City Casino lighting in full force. All I can say is "WOW!" The lighting bands change color with different designs, like the American Flag and such. Expect an increase in accidents on I-75 coming into downtown because it is definately a distraction! :)

The transition building between the existing Greektown Casino and St Mary's School has really shot up. From what I remember today, it rises a bit higher than the school, and has some really high floor to ceiling heights. It was four floors and the top floor had a large arch that spanned the full length of 4 or 5 columns of windows. That feature was kind of fake and cheesey looking. But regardless, the building massing provides a nice continuity in the street wall.

They really know what they were doing. It looks great. Can't wait to go....hopefully the gov't will get its act together...Yet I still don't understand why the casinos will close. They don't cost taxpayers anymore, therefore, the gov't won't LOOSE money if they stay open, they only GAIN money. I suppose that's why the state is messed up right now. We have elected the ignorant people in office.

A landscaped median was installed on what was once a very bland and broken 3rd Street. The DTE Energy property on the opposite side is installing a city block-sized garden.

Bagley and 3rd showcases the corner focal point of the casino, which has a seasonal theme...here pumpkins and autumn leaves.
