We're Back! Kinda


    Well believe it or not it has been 6 years since I made a post about Detroit's progress. There are a couple of reasons. First I noticed that many of the things I was posting were already being covered by Curbed Detroit so I just started tweeting and posting their stuff. The other reason is that I retired and moved to Florida. Well after 5 long years we are now doing the snowbird thing and arrived back in Detroit on May 10th with the plan to leave about October 11th. There are 2 weddings we will be attending in September and October if they occur. The first is Brandon Lee, our nephew, and Megan Moss and the second is Jessica Payne, our goddaughter and Ned and I don't know his last name.
    So hopefully I can find the time to post many of the changes that have occurred over the last 6 years. I am also going to start another blog to document the many changes that we have made on our house here in Detroit, name to follow. This is more of a journal for me, more than anything but hopefully some of you will get some enjoyment out of it.

El Moore Revisited

Backtracking from my previous blogs from 6 years ago, the El Moore has been a huge success in Midtown since it opened. The most recent photo on the bottom is from 5 years ago when I was in the neighborhood. The park next door, that was built by the same people is gorgeous!

Hillberry Gateway Project at Wayne State University

Wayne State University  approved the $65 million  Hilberry Gateway project in 2018, a  renovation of the Hilberry Theatre  (with the 350-seat Gretchen Valade Jazz Center and 110-seat Jazz Underground), development of a new venue (with a 550-seat main theatre and a 150 to 225-seat Studio Theatre) and outdoor performance and reception space between the two buildings. The Gateway will be the performance home for the Maggie Allesee Department of Theatre and Dance and the Department of Music. Initial site work for the project included  moving the historic Mackenzie House , built in 1895, to a former parking lot at 2nd and Forest in 2019. Opening is set for  late 2022/2023 .

El Moore moving along

I've been neglecting my own blog. I promise to do better and post more of my own stuff instead of another blog that will go unmentioned. Let me hear from you. Anyway, here is a photo of The El Moore which is moving along nicely. Notice the new windows. See the new El Moore page link on the right to keep you up to date with more photos.
