an update was given at the historic district commission last night: the city council took three months to review and approve the sale to the ilitches. it was not clear if there were any modifications to the purchase agreement (eg. higher price or not). they returned it back to ilitches in may. since then the ilitches have not responded to the city in any manner. basically, they've been sitting on it for six months. |

Ilitch is waiting for it to spring a leak in the roof so he can say it's structurally beyond saving and can tear it down. |

Good thing he gets all these accolades for being such a humanitarian, eh, Eric? I hope Neal Shine is rolling in his grave that they gave him that humanitarian award named after him. |
