June 21, 20204 yr The addition of Church+State and The Quarter had dramatically changed Detroit, especially when coming from the east. It's incredible. There is so much potential and opportunity to recreate Detroit all the west.

That’s major for two reasons. They are in the middle of closing 250 stores AND that is a major shopping tenant to acquire. That could potentially create a domino effect.

And I really wish the city would put in a bike/bus line-jumping lane on Detroit eastbound right before W25th now, before all the risk-averse retail tenants move in.

The closest convenience store nearby for residents like myself (not counting "The Grocery" which is more of a prepared foods spot) is Linda's and it doesn't really give off the warm and cozy vibe considering someone was shot in the leg outside of Linda's about a month ago. If I need beer or wine I basically need to buy ahead at Dave's or make a run to Ohio City Brew Stop on Fulton. A bank is also meh considering there's a Chase, Key, Ohio Savings, and PNC all within a half mile. Edited June 22, 20204 yr by BJBaes

June 25, 20204 yr Church + State really makes an impact on the skyline coming from the west on the Lakefront Bikeway! I can’t wait to see this same view once it’s finished.
June 25, 20204 yr Great shots @urbanetics_! I’m actually pleasantly surprised just how impactful on the skyline Church & State is. i think it will be incredibly impactful in terms of the positive energy it infuses in the neighborhood.

June 28, 20204 yr ^ This got me thinking.....seeing this place all lit up at night is going to have a tremendous visual benefit to what has been for so long a very forlorn looking stretch of Detroit.

June 29, 20204 yr I don't believe anyone has posted the artwork proposal yet that would wrap around the parking garage floors. Really pulls together the building and is an awesome contemporary method for ornamentation and beautifying a parking garage. The intent is to change out the artwork every 3-5 years.

I noticed the first story wood facade in these pictures is gray or black. Right now it’s just unfinished wood and I kind of like the look as-is. Does anyone know if they plan to stain the wood like these mockups? Edited June 30, 20204 yr by BJBaes
June 30, 20204 yr A lot of woods silver over time. It won't be as dark or consistent as what's shown in those renderings, but it will likely lose a lot of its color fairly quickly.

Some will see it as a shot at the urban community and one purely motivated by gentrification but that is simply not reality. Linda’s does not abide by a single ordinance nor does it prioritize safety. There is a steady wave of people loitering inside and outside of the store (I’ve been in there twice and won’t be back). Zero mask adherence, either. There are CONSTANTLY people drinking from open containers right outside the store and I’ve seen people stumbling around there piss drunk like it’s a bar. My girlfriend and I are both routinely heckled and harassed by store patrons and loiterers every time we pass by (usually trying to get to the bike path). Someone was shot in the leg there back in May. You can’t say they haven’t had a chance to clean it up...
July 14, 20204 yr It would be nice to have a similar shop there, one that abides by the rules a bit better. The property owner just put alot of money into it though in around 2016, which is a good sign - new windows, siding, trim, signs, awning - and the mural is great too. It's magnitudes better than it was recently. I wonder if the shop owner is the property owner, or if its rented space.

The name of the property owner listed is associated with DETROIT-WEST 28TH ST., INC. which is associated with the store's address. The Articles of Incorporation state their purpose as "To carry on the business of buying, selling leasing and otherwise dealing in grocery, food products, beer, wine, soft drink beverages, and all kindered (sic) and related products, to be sold at retail or wholesale in conformity with the laws of the State of Ohio, Cuyahoga County and City of Cleveland"...

July 15, 20204 yr looks great and i like the twee garage artwork. cle could use more of that (but not too much lol).
July 26, 20204 yr Putzing around this area it's seriously so different from like a year and some ago. Took this out of the sunroof ha
