I briefly scanned through the article and I liked what I read. But where specifically in Midtown is this new place-the article didn't say-I'll probably know it when I see it. Like Urbanize said, 'Let's hope this type of investment continues.' |

Waxx - from the article:
Bureau of Urban Living Where: 460 W. Canfield, Detroit It took me less time to find it in the article than it took you to write your post. |

Snutson - I bought a retro/modern stainless steel bowl ($10) and a bamboo cutting board ($20). I have my eyes on some great looking sheets, which I will probably pick-up on my next visit. They have a decent collection for the size of the store. The goods are better quality then Bed Bath & Beyond and the prices are comparable. This evening they are having an open-house party for anybody interested. |

The joint looked plenty busy when I drove by ~6:30 this evening. Good for them!

Pretty much the best home store I've been to in forever. More a Chicago kind of place, except the content is better than a generic home store. So cute, I hope it does great. |

So good! I bought a little something and I plan on going back soon. Surprisingly, they have items for people of every economic stratosphere and it is attractive and practical. Yay! |

So cute, I hope it does great. Not to mention Frank is a great guy. I'll definitely check it out. Just don't park in the Traffic Jam parking lot or you'll be sorry! |

Wow. Praise from DialH. That does not come easily or often (unless of course you are a parking deck masquerading as a village). Must be worthwhile. |
