Thank you so much for all that info! What fascinating lives the remaining buildings in Detroit have led. Would love to be able to explore the inside of the carriage house to see what history remains.

Macomb County Road Commission.

Sorry, MDOT is too busy widening roads in Macomb County. They were very defensive with me yesterday when I asked them if it was fiscally responsible to widen roads when they have $2.5B in unfunded road & bridge maintenance.

Will be a long commute back to Livonia but at least they put in those Flex Lanes, right?? Will shave minutes off the commute!

Given the popularity of the Dream Cruise and nostalgia for cruising Woodward, I'm surprised no one has proposed a new retro drive in restaurant on that site. Imagine a Big Boy that looked like Mel's in American Graffiti.

The next spot being considered would have massive Grand River running through the middle of it and surrounded once again, by nothing but parking. That's not 100% true.
@umich.edu is building there. Not a great hangout over the highway but its not my money to spend.

You can cover this area but it will only connect parking lots & parking structures. They're never going to start on that hotel that was promised 10 years ago and there's Harry's & Town Pump. Dead zone. Adding grass won't fix it. Pedestrian only street, Columbia, is dead outside of game days.

Was considering taking a MoGo from Ferndale then returning it by car once I got home.

I think he turned south on Woodward to avoid the Ferndale Train which was stopped on Hilton.
