Detroit A widespread power outage Tuesday has caused evacuations of buildings throughout the downtown, including Joe Louis Arena, Coleman A. Young Municipal Center, the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice, the Detroit Institute of Arts and some buildings at Wayne State University. Most of Detroit's municipal power grid has gone down, cutting electricity to public buildings in the city, officials have said.
Police, fire, school, and jail buildings have lost power and traffic lights aren't working, a city spokesperson said.

Affected buildings included Detroit Institute of Arts, Wayne State, and the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice, which people evacuated by stairwells, the Detroit Free Press reports.

Reminds me of the time I worked at the RenCen.
DeLoitte-Touche had an office across the hall and we would ride the elevators with the “steno-pool” chicks.
What a fine collection of nubile young women! I would attempt to “chat up” the girls during the lunch-ride to give both me and those girls a certain “fun and satisfaction”.
Good times!
