We'll start in the urbs.
The windows at MidMed everyone's been complaining about on detroityes.
If you're going to own a car and live here, this is where you park.

Hello Greektown Casino storage unit.
:repeat
From the not-so-traveled north side of Greektown.
The orb of Ste. Mary's is to blame.
These columns are for the hotel tower.
Good Grief! That's like level 13 up there! Let's hope they don't forget to install the elevators.
Front entrance of the Vinton is progressing near completion.
The 2 inches left of the Detroit Commerce Building. As of today, it is a part of our history.
The replacement has been catching the eyes of passersby.
Count yourself lucky: A never before seen picture of Detroit.
It was a nice (but frigid) day.
Die, bi*ch!
Another never before seen...only to be in existance temporarily.
? (the day after St. Patty's)
This is downtown's first furniture company: MEZZANINE.
Bee-Boo!
Mmmkay...Intermission to Windsor. This thing does not grow vertically. It will be the city's new tallest. (Second hotel tower to Ceasars somethingsomething Windsor Casino).
And this thing has been sitting without a face for months now too. Hello Windsor! You aren't Detroit!
There will be a ceremony in the spring (which is now) for the grand opening of Rivard Plaza, just east of the Renaissance Center on the East Riverfront.
Making Detroit a lovely city is the new Michigan Welcome Center and Mercado at the Ambassador Bridge Customs Plaza on the Southwest side. It looks very nice.
The two buildings here comprise the project.
A zoom out.
The historic preservation project at Vernor and ____ in Mexicantown. This area of town should be applauded for embarking on a large number of preservation projects. Way to go SW side!!
Yawn. The Motor City from the train station.
The Motor City from my apartment.
The only thing going on in Grosse Pointe these days is this duck.
In-bound from the Pointes, I came across this project on Jefferson. I'm sure you guys know what it is, but I do not. I was surprised to see windows on a large structure in a part of town where most large structures do not have any. This is around Jefferson/Dickinson. Somebody please enlighten me.
Liquor store anyone? You have a choice of about 5,000 on Jefferson alone.
AND FINALLY...The site of the highly-anticipated
South University Village project! I drove by there today on my bike on my way home from work and noticed yellow tape sectioning off the area for tomorrow's official ground breaking ceremonies at 3:pm.
As long as I'm at this location, which may not be for much longer, I will post periodic updates, given the speed or lack-there-of of the progress.
