Down to brass tax though.
Really I love any pic that has the cleaned up Book Tower in it but this is a particularly nice one being taken at the right distance and angle to capture the grandness of the detail on the main (northern) face of the building.

Glad that the Greektown Casino name is staying. Sounds a lot better than 'Jack'.

As am I they ripped out the heart and soul of Greektown back in the 90s (Trappers Ally) to build the casino the least they can do is keep the name Greektown.
I agree though I like Greektown better too I can also understand why marketing execs would want to change the name with Greektown Casino constently being in 3rd place of the 3 casinos.
This is me reading the tea leaves so take it with a grain of salt but with the Gratiot Jail site in Gilbert's hands now an expansion of the Greektown entertainment district of some kind seems to me to be a natural next step for redevelopment of the site. The local chamber of commerce has been screaming for it since who knows at least as I can remember the neighborhood has one of the best reputations in the region it would be easy to build off imo. Who know's though I was thinking that his successful acquisition of the site changed the calculus on the name of the casino because he plans to expand the entertainment district which would build increased name recognition.
Have a lil update of my own from Crain's good news for Lower Woodward.
