No shocker there. We knew the building got bought by a church, and it's obvious a church isn't going to renovate it.
I'll ask around the office and see if anyone has heard anything. |

Old time white neighborhood, populated by blacks. Skinny white hippies take over The Grande. Now bought by a black church...Ras and Danny should be proud to see this stopping any future "gentrifing" of this historic structure.
P.S. Just trying to crack a joke! Sorry Lowell.

Any one see the interior pics posted on detroitfunk on October 4? Heartbreaking. We can only hope that any new construction on the site is a boost for a neighborhood so desperately in need of new life. Still makes me sad, not just for the loss of such a once beautiful structure, but also for my lost youth. Just one more link to the past going, going........ |
