"Orlando has become the Detroit of the southeast"

Does that mean it is on the rebound like Detwaa is? You'd not believe Downtown and it's sprouts, get a red-eye flight and come and see it for a weekend, you'll be surprised...

see it for a weekend, you'll be surprised...

My sister's family have Wings season tickets and they know the downtown area like the back of their hand. The love it down there.....

I went downtown with them for coney islands last October, my first time downtown in years, and I couldn't believe my eyes........

Upscale bars, restaurants, stores such as Nike, UnderArmor, clothing...you name it.

What they did to the riverfront is short of miraculous.

Detroit is making a comeback, starting downtown and spreading outwards. The smart people and investors have already bought up most of the immediate blighted properties and land around downtown's perimeter. They know what they're doing.........

If I was young, single, college educated and starting a career in S.E. Michigan, I'd live downtown and invest in a condo or loft since they're only going to go up in value. And the nightlife would be right up my alley.....LOL!

As a side note, a friend of mine who was a Jig and Fixture builder at my company's plant on the east side owns a unique bar on Griswald called Cafe D'Mongos Speakeasy
