They better maintain it properly. The last thing we need is a large shoddily built structure decaying right there. We have plenty of very well built structures decaying already. |

Superduperman, where'd you hear that? That would be a rather unfortunate use for a building downtown. |

Any chances of selling it to the city to use for their police headquarters? |

Urbanize,
how is Greektown going to be utilized as gaming space? It not located next to the permanent casino going in, and cannot be connected by everyone's favorite pedestrian device, a skywalk. Maybe I am missing something here, if so, please fill me in. |

The greektown casino is staying where it currently is. It is going to be expanded out over lafayette. The new construction in greektown is for the hotel and parking. |

From what I last remember Gambling_man saying... the "moving sidewalk" skywalk will instead be a regular skywalk. That is actually better for because skywalks with moving sidewalks (such as that one connecting Somerset North & South) are rather bulky compared to non-moving ones. |
