I just visited the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy website, after not visiting in a while. And I am impressed again with what is going on with the Detroit Riverfront. Check out the promotional video at
http://www.detroitriverfront.o rg/img_content/DRC/video/Detro it%20River%20Front2.wmv

I think they did a great job with the video. And even better, Detroit has pulled off a new riverfront in a very short time.
For example, Toronto has been spending 30 years trying to redo our waterfront, and still hardly anything is done.
Detroit has done alot in a short time, and the city and all the people involved should be commended for that.
Enjoy the video.

The riverfront will give people from all over the world an amazing perception of the city.

That has to be quite an old video, as the river walk has basically been open for a year. Glad to see that the plans have come to completion! Next up, the Uniroyal site...

Paul,

The video is well over a year old.

Now, who's got an update on the Port Authority?

Walked by the Port Authority site two weeks ago--looks as blank and empty as ever all tucked down in the concrete urban setting there.
