Re: The Duo (222 S 15 ST) formerly Central Park Plaza

Yeah, this is pretty meh for a conference. Obviously not a bad thing to add 700 apartments, but I was really hoping for something big at 1416 Dodge. It always seems odd to me to convert an office building to apartments, but then again so is a hospital. But it is relatively cheap. Absolutely a win. ...

Having lived in DTLA and DT Long Beach, I would like to see us at least get something like this Vons in DTLB.

I was in Detroit for the 2nd time in a week for work. I had a short amount of time to walk around Detroit's Riverwalk, which just recently opened. There wasn't a whole lot to it. Think our own Riverfront back in the days of Rick"s being the sole destination. https://i.postimg.cc/kD2qyWp4/202310...
