Here's the problem with the plan, need a casino license, unless they move one of the three to the Silverdome, or the Indians put one there, it won;t happen. And since the powerful Sault tribe already owns the majority of the Greektown, they will fight tooth and nail to stop this.

If they keep this up, Pontiacs's going to become the Oakland County version of Romulus, the place where crack-pot development dreams spew forth like Old Faithful. Whatever happened to Mr. Xanadu or whatever was the latest BS scheme proposed for the airport area?
