Detroit, Michigan recent comments:

  • Incomplete Davison interchange, cwf (guest) wrote 16 years ago:
    as proposed, the Davidson would have been the inner beltway in Detroit, Joining I-275/696 (at the middle Beltway) and US-23/I-69 (as the outer beltway) as beltways around Detroit.
  • Westin Book Cadillac Detroit Hotel, Dave (guest) wrote 16 years ago:
    I'm not a Detroit resident, but I'm glad to see they are giving some of these historic places a chance instead of demolishing them to build something ten times more expensive.
  • Cass Corridor, bigb1981 wrote 16 years ago:
    Well, we took it over, we annexed it. Sorry.
  • Greektown Casino Hotel and Parking, bigb1981 wrote 16 years ago:
    Yes! There it is!
  • Tiger Stadium (Demolished), bigb1981 wrote 16 years ago:
    Before that, Bennett Park.
  • Detroit Street Circuit, bigb1981 wrote 16 years ago:
    Yes, there was a street circuit back then. I remember as a kid sitting in my backyard hearing those F1 engines. They were so loud, they echoed all over Windsor.
  • Packard Automotive Plant, Me (guest) wrote 16 years ago:
    If you`ve ever seen the inside of this place you would know why they have never developed it. It is also in a horribly dangerous neighborhood. They really should tear this thing down.
  • Belle Isle, Me (guest) wrote 16 years ago:
    Frederick Law Olmstead designed Central Park in NYC as well. The island also has a population of albino deer who are very tame.
  • Detroit Street Circuit, jcolbert666 (guest) wrote 16 years ago:
    It was Mario Andretti that ran into the safety truck. He then went on tv and blamed it on the corner workers when it was his own fault.
  • Solidarity House - UAW International Headquarters, Jonesy (guest) wrote 16 years ago:
    The only thing the UAW has done consistently is bankrupt one cpmpany after another. I worked for a union for one year and the best I can say is you people are a joke and a bunch of crooks.
  • Lafayette Coney Island, cobher (guest) wrote 16 years ago:
    A little slice of rock 'n roll history -- this is where Patti Smith and Fred "Sonic" Smith first met, and had their wedding reception.
  • Former Classic Automotive Group, KBG1313 wrote 16 years ago:
    Wow, only 19 cents a gallon, that was the real deal back then. By the way, how did you know this was a Quacker Gas Station, and is there still a gas station chain the operates under this name?
  • Packard Automotive Plant, Lionel Lydecker III (guest) wrote 16 years ago:
    According to what I saw on CNBC recently, this is the largest abandoned industrial facility in America. It is a sober testament to the realities of how capitalism leaves certain entities - be they people, careers, dreams, factories, what have you - in the dust in the onward march of growth, profits, and progress. I'm surprised some developer hasn't converted this sprawling place into a giant condominium project, "The Packard Palisades," or some such.
  • Birthplace of the 1967 Detroit riots, bucolic urbanity (guest) wrote 16 years ago:
    you need to get out more
  • Manoogian Mansion, Piston08 (guest) wrote 16 years ago:
    Kwame was an embarresement to this city and should be charged with treason. Just like his hack mom and dad, of course if he was my cousin like every other brother in the city I could have gotten a sweet job!
  • Westin Book Cadillac Detroit Hotel, KBG1313 wrote 16 years ago:
    YES!!! Renovations are complete! Now to just wait for the Fort Shelby Hotel...
  • The Fisher Theater, Trotter (guest) wrote 16 years ago:
    The ushers were all volunteers. If you knew the right people, you were able to serve as an usher. Arrive early, seat guests and then find a vacant seat and see the performance. Rotations worked out such that you would never have to see the same play twice.
  • Brightmoor, Trotter (guest) wrote 16 years ago:
