How many BBQ joints does it take to make a good entrtmnt district?

I too went to the Blue Dome that evening and parked on the street halfway between the restaurant and the ball park. Charlie, you must suck at finding free parking.

You probably didn't get there at 8:00.  If you would have moved your damn car I would have had a spot.

I misstated, I could have gone about 6 blocks away.  I don't want to do it when its 95 degrees out though.  I normally find free spots somehwere.  But after 10 minutes of driving around it isn't worth it any more.  We went down elgin, then went south on kenosha went west on 3rd.

You could have simply hi-jacked a gasoline tanker and come roaring down second street.

Artist, do you mean the buildings on the west side of Detroit Ave south of Enso?  If so, I wouldn't park my car in them because they are about to fall down.  An American Parking employee told me the cost to rehab and bring to code is too high for a reasonable return.  It's too bad because they're cool looking buildings.

I have heard that the building you mention is about to become a new retail business. When it is officially announced, I will say, "I told you so".

If being the most correct on an internet forum gets your blood pumping then congrats and hope it doesn't pump too hard!

We were talking about two different buildings.  There are two buildings there that have parking, one is operated by American Parking, one is not.

Bottom line, I'm glad to hear about more retail on Detroit.  Dwelling Spaces has gone it solo for far too long.  On a separate but related note, the ownership of Lyons Indian Store need to take it down a notch about their reserved parking.  Talked to several people that have run in to Joebots Coffee just long enough to get a drink and have come back out to find a notice taped to their car when they are the only car parked in one of their 8-10 spots.  I am all for protecting what is yours, but you're not going to win any customers (or sustain a shopping district) by alienating patrons with threats of booting cars in obvious slow times for your shop.

Yes. The building with American parking stickers on it that you said was falling down is going to be rented.

It is not just that I am right, it is just you posted heresay and crappy information. Stuff like that hurts the neighborhood.

Lyon's Indian Store behavior does make a bad neighbor as well.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought 99% of Internet forums were hear say?

That is a good point.  By the way, the rumor I hear is grocery.

Ooooh, I would love for this to be true. I hope there is an official announcement soon...
