Looks better than ever. And I'm mad they are trying to tear down half the ren cen. Didn't we learn anything by tearing buildings down?
The half demolition plan looks unbelievably stupid. Tear the whole thing down or just keep it.
10:06 West Riverfront. I remember when those tower residences were built a few decades ago (at least the first ones) and thinking how expensive they were. But I was just a struggling college student then.
13:50 Millender Center. Completed in 1985. It has good shopping which is easily accessible throughout its user-friendly layout. There is a cross bridge from the RenCen. When I needed to purchase something and worked in the RenCen, it was easier to go to Millender Center. They have a good underground garage too. If I wanted to live in Downtown Detroit, I always thought Millender Center apartments would be the best. However, there is so much more becoming available in new buildings and new up-and-coming neighborhoods, I may think differently now.
4:25 That curved building on the left is a new building named after the original hotel which stood there, Statler Hotel opened in 1915. Detroit's most expensive hotel to build and a most luxurious hotel at the time. It also was the largest hotel in the Midwest when it opened on Feb. 6, 1915.
14:47 Renaissance Center station. The road below is Jefferson which runs almost 64 miles southern to northern. According to wiki It travels alongside Lake Erie, the Detroit River, and Lake St. Clair. West Jefferson Avenue is primarily commercial, while East Jefferson Avenue contains a historic residential district and a Nouveau riche community.
Thank you very much for doing this video! It’s been such a long time since I was down there (old career stomping grounds) and it’s so nice to see so much of it again after all the impressive improvements.
My pleasure!
I read the comments about people complaining that no one is on the people mover, but that was just when this was being filmed. When it's warmer out, there are tons of people that use it, so it's not a waste. I think the purpose of the people mover was to move people within Downtown, I don't think their intention was to make it a subway. Detroit is not as crowded as, say, New York or Chicago. It really is a wonderful city to just look at even riding the people mover.
@@Hey_Its_J_ay And it’s cold with no events at the time. There were other passengers but I didn’t want to intentionally film them.
15:26 Note the church which is Sts Peter and Paul church. Detroit’s oldest standing church, having been consecrated June 29, 1848.
Impressive mover. Downtown looks cleaner than expected. Most of office bldgs look empty. Detroit has a long way to go to be what she used to be.
11:40 Cobo Arena and Detroit Princess river cruise.
Glad you moved the camera as it went along! Thx
@@intounknown Thank you for watching the video.
17:15 Greek Town station. 😮 What? 😮where did everything go? 😢. 🎵🎶. memories 🎵🎶
12:21 The Guardian Building is the red brick building. If you could choose one of the most beautiful interiors out of the multitude of Detroit’s beauties from its heydays of the early 1900’s, the Guardian Building would undeniably be one of your favorites. Its former name was Union Trust, and they were mostly responsible for the beginning of the Great Depression. They set the steps in motion. This is the Financial District stop.
I have a new video of the Guardian Building on Valentines Day!
OK Michael Never knew you wore glasses. but. tell me im wrong here the 3 tones advising you the doors are closing are from former TTC Scarbourough RT Cars. Excellent video. Keep up the great work
@@thomasrobinson8336 I don’t know because that particular one has that same advertising wrap that’s been around for a long time.
These are the original cars. The ttc car won’t go into service until the end of 2025- early 2026
@@Damefrom313 Thanks for this I was looking at their New home
4:25 That oddly-shaped building in the distance is a casino.
16:11 Brick Town station. Ya got me on that one…Brick Town? Don’t remember that.
Very close to Greektown Station
4:58 TIMES SQUARE STATION Tent looking place. Rosa Parks Transition center. PEOPLE MOVER, BUSES
The cars there work yes but would be nice if they put in some more updated ones. Might encourage more people to ride
I know they bought the cars that Toronto used. Toronto dumped them in favour of buses because why not put more vehicles on the roads.
@ Yeah I mean maybe if the cars they used for the people mover looked more modern, had more comfortable seating, maybe some screens or something idk
9:51 Somewhere along here Joe Louis Arena stood.
@MeMyselfAndUs903 The arena was on the site that Watersquare Apartments is and Marriott Watersquare is under construction
7:05 Fort Cass station. What is that red brick building on the left?
Based on the lack of traffic I'm assuming you're filming on a weekend day. I'd like to see that at rush hour on a week day.
Where's the people?
@@YoP-3194 They take invisible potion 🧪
Are there any plans to expand the system?
@@theschiznit8777 I hope so. It would make more sense to have it actually go somewhere other than a big circle.
i've heard they're "looking in to" expanding the system in the future, but who knows that could 5 years or 30 from now.
6:17 MICHIGAN AVE STATION
nobody riding it. empty stations
8:23 HUNTINGTON PLACE
What a massive waste of money. Barely any riders the entire ride.
Whaa whaa whaa😂 Whining whining whining troll
Just wait....in just a few years there's going to be a huge comeback in downtown Detroit, with busy cruse ship traffic growing more and more popular every year, which will bring in many more shops and foot traffic to downtown, much greater than ever before!....JUST WAIT AND SEE! YOU'LL BE AMAZED!! Its already the most beautiful waterfront in this country, many park improvements going on right now, and when the new people mover expands to all 3 casinos, the professional centers, further out into the surrounding areas, you'll see Detroit comeback greater than anyone could ever imagine!
