Downtown development recap

[Conan71]

  Lots of stuff.  Lots of stuff going on.  New bridge, will move people from here to the stuff over there.

The guy is an intellectual powerhouse thats for sure.

I'm still howling five minutes later.

Thank you!!!

Ick. I feel dirty just watching that. Couldn't the video specialist (highly paid, I'm sure) make the propaganda feel a little less overpowering?

The problem isn't the video specialist, the problem is that our Mayor is too dumb to write copy ahead of time and takes a good 60 seconds and two questions to elaborate on downtown development beyond "stuff." Unless this was meant to be submitted to the Onion?

Yes, the mayor has a talent for looking like a moron. But a video specialist with a TV news background should be able to steer it to look more like something resembling a TV news segment than a bad public access cable segment. "Mayor, you are right!"

I've not been in the area in a while.  How's the property look?

Unchanged, other than the MET signs in the window are no longer there.

Same with First St lofts. The ground floor looks good thanks to Whiskey Business and S&J...but nothing has changed upstairs.

Will the Rib Crib be takeout only or are they planning to have seating?

You've not managed to shock me about the First St Lofts.

Would the Rib Crib area be the old piano bar and pool/bar areas?

Rib Crib will be the white building across the street from the building you are describing, which is now Enso and another couple of music venues.

It's the old MET building.

Rib Crib is going into the building on the Southeast corner at 15th and Detroit. I think you are referring to the building on the Southeast corner where Enzo and Electric Circus are currently located.

What happened to the Rib Crib going in next to McNellie's,  they used to have a sign on that property, the one with the major renovations going on.

This is what happens when 4 BBQ places attempt to open downtown.  We get our locations mixed up.
