There is a building on the corner of Woodward and I think Witherell in downtown Detroit. There is an old ottos downstairs. Club blu is a few doors down. The building exactly next door has been torn down and it looks like there may be construction in the building.

A guy named Higgens owns it and has the Golden Ticket syndrome. Constant flow of schemes and dreams to rehab to place. Last I heard he wanted to hang zeppelin mooring posts from the roof and a RollerBall arena on the 23rd floor.

If you're wondering about the plywood covered sidewalks ... the city made them do that to protect pedestrians from chunks of the building crushing skulls. Why force Higgens fix an unsafe building when an attractive covered walkway will fool people into thinking ..."What's going on at ...?"
