Walking past the National yesterday I noticed workers. I stopped and talked to one of them, they said it would reopen as a concert venue sometime time next year. Has anyone else heard about this? |

Lilpup, that thread you posted has good historic info about the national, but no current (like summer '06) info on plans for the theater. |

Well I found a thread in which Detroit stylin had similar conversation with workers in May so the consistancy in stories is a good sign . Still, I find it odd that the possible renovation of such an important, historic structure could be so under the radar, you'd think there would at least be a formal announcement. https://www.atdetroit.net/forum/mes sages/62684/71969.html |

my various sources say it is a complete renovation - though i've heard live and film venue - however i believe it will be live. it has taken longer than planned for unexpected delays... (for example EVERY light on the front takes +/- a day to re-install, according to a source.) |
