For those keeping track, Wayne County bought the building for $14 million and allocated $13 million for renovation.  Earlier this week, county officials asked for another $30 million, bringing the total project costs [...]]]></description>

Two extremely iconic buildings in Detroit are potentially a step closer to joining the recently publicized list of vacant Detroit buildings.  The Guardian Building and the Penobscot Building are both located in the heart of the central business district and would emotionally devastate the Detroit (or at least me)  if they become vacant.
Both towers were [...]]]></description>

Louis Aguilar at the Detroit News has assembled an unofficial list of vacant buildings in Detroit&#8217;s central business district.  The list is not all inclusive, but based on the building having no signs of life (No tenants!), be 5 stories or taller, and contain 10,000 square feet or more.
The last two criteria are the threshold [...]]]></description>

I was going through my other sites page recently (as if I don&#8217;t have better things to do) and noticed that Map Detroit no longer works.  I dug deeper and found some really great maps hosted by Navaciti.
They appear to be demonstration sites so expect some bugs, but they display enormous potential.

I don&#8217;t know if many of you caught this on the internet earlier this week, but some sources are claiming that Chrysler&#8217;s Auburn Hills Headquarters (built from 1993 &#8211; 1996) was designed with a second purpose.
This all seems to have started with a Business Week article that was published on April 23rd, 2009:

I just have to share this with you!  I&#8217;ve been working on a way to represent a timeline of Detroit&#8217;s buildings and architects.
I think I&#8217;m almost there.
I have some formating and styling issues to clean up, but at least the model is working.

Let me know what you think.
