Craig - Remember all those folks upset with tearing down the Old State Pen in Columbus?  In fact I believe the stones from the front facade are still in storage someplace. 

Well I think the Neil Avenue corridor with Nationwide Arena, the soon to be Huntington Park, the new condos and businesses as well as restaurant have made a blighted park of the city a center for entertainment.  Maybe these well meaning folks need to put some energy into trying to move forward as with the right urban planning the area could become an asset to the city not a monument to its past.

I am starting to agree with you, Craig.  To see a beautiful old building carried along for years to be awkwardly wedged into some parks project would be sad.  Better to die a beautiful death than to linger on, a shell of its former self.  Perhaps we could handcuff Mike Illich to the infrastructure before it gets demolished?

I’m leaving the office and running home to begin the packaging for my new venture: Nostalgia Brand Spackle

  When the preliminary sales stuff is in Shyster, we can discuss your cut.

The smell of beer and cigars: Ideal for an old ballpark. Less than ideal for a rec center.

The information you are putting out here is not correct at all. Mr Harwell is no longer involved in the project and you present no proof of that many deadlines missed.

I know Mr Illich wants Tigers Stadium gone because he hates competition but given all the empty lots and buildings in Detroit why is anyone in a rush to hurt efforts to do something positive where a part of history can be saved by a non-profit group.

There is nothing more corrupt in Detroit than Illitch who let Tiger Stadium detoriate while he was paid to maintain it then when it finally started coming down the grass was mowed when people could finally see inside.
