Okay, so even with Detroit's tough times I have always loved the city. Between the architecture and the unique culture of Detroit, it's just awesome to me. It also seems like others are finally realizing this and they have money to boot!
A few weeks ago, COBO announced that it would be doing a $221 million dollar renovation to the building to improve the convention center and, holy crap, bring it up to the standards of most modern day convention centers. Here's a link to an article about it:

And here is the AWESOME 3D tour!
Now on top of that I heard today that the owner of the Michigan Central Depot is planning on doing a facelift to the structure! I'm glad that people (with the funds to do it)are finally realizing that Detroit needs the private sector to help them out! Here's an article on the face-lift:

This makes me happy!
...So, there you goes!
