I hope they keep the cool Yellow Pages sign. That's a great sign! | ||

Detroitman: http://www.flickr.com/photos/j oeyharrison/67479944/in/set-13 05431/ at least, i assume that's it by the description. i'll allow some room for error, i've never seen it myself. agree with bobj, it's good to see some developments outside of downtown. however, i am slightly confused - this describes it as being south of oakman, but looking at aerials, this building is on the north side. incorrect description? | ||

I hope they're not tearing it down! What a pity it would be to see such a beautiful building come down. It has to be one of the tallest commercial building outside of the city center (Downtown, Midtown, New Center), and is a Detroit landmark. (Message edited by Gistok on February 14, 2007) | ||

That's two positive announcements in a week for that area. Visteon and Focus Hope Development. |
