http://www.PictureTrail.com/gi d9149834 since it was so nice outside yesterday I laced up my shoes and trekked around town for 3 hours to capture the progress. It brought a smile to my face to see all these people and to see the progression. Next week is going to be fun times! |

Great photos! Wow that CVS/parking structure is impressing me. I haven't been on lower woodward in a couple months and I'm wowed at how complementary that building is to it. I'll be there next weekend though. |

Steelworker the new facade has been up since mid November, but they've been working it since July. I'm guessing you weren't downtown a lot during the day there's no way you could walk past and not hear them. |

Detroit is looking spectacular! I am so excited about moving back to Detroit. It's been 5 boring years in the south and I'm excited about being at home to stay forever. I'll be moving in the midtown area and attending WSU to finish up school. I haven't been downtown since late November and can't wait to see all the progress. When I was there in November, I noticed a building on Woodward & E. Grand Blvd. has been renovated. I believe its a Lee Beauty supply store, and its the upper portion of that building that has been renovated. But Detroit looks good and I can't wait to go to all the events. |

I have an important question: Where are they going to put all the porta-johns? I don't think I saw any in the pics. |

Economic stimulus. If you want to use a bathroom you have to go into a bar and order a few drinks first.
