However, I then started thinking about grocery stores.  We’ve had this discussion in the past on Form and Function.  We should open some small grocery stores in the various neighborhoods in the downtown and midtown areas.  Resonable prices, quality foods (Randy, I know you and Mark had this discussion at Leopold’s about crappy produce in the Corridor area), in an area where people can actually walk to purchase goods.  I know this sounds really far-fetched, even though it shouldn’t, but someone needs to take the initiative… In my head I was just half-jokingly thinking, “Damn, I should open a theater in Detroit.” Well, plenty of people have tried this over the past 20 years and failed.

Anyone know anyone involved in this that we could get it here?  There are a surprising number of Detroit ex-pats running around here.

They note there is just one major movie theater in the city.” Ha, I think the DFT is the “one” theater they allude to in the article(!):

Were’s the Detroit screening?  <a href="http://www.dia.org/dft/" rel="nofollow">DFT</a> anyone?… Let me get this straight.  The premier of this film is happening in Ann Arbor.  Then it’s being played in London, Dearborn, back to Ann Arbor, and finally back to London (according to their site).
