Check out renovation work underway

I saw visual progress is being made on the former United Savings Bank in Detroit's Capitol Park.

It's undergoing significant remodeling to an art deco-inspired design, and the addition of four new floors. Two stories will be for commercial space, and the rest will have 25 residential units.

Designed by Albert Kahn and opened in 1921, the building's facade was ruined by a "facelift" in the 70s that removed most of the windows.

The developers of 1133 Griswold Street are the Detroit-based RKP Group.

On this Friday edition of Daily Detroit, hosts Devon and Jer kick things off with a victory lap for Devon, who accurately predicted the opening of an Apple Store in Detroit nearly three years ago.

A 19 foot long replacement pipe arrives in Southwest Detroit

The 54-inch wide pipe arrived in Southwest Detroit Thursday to replace a section that failed earlier this week, causing massive flooding that drove many out of their homes.

The GLWA says that it’ll be at least two weeks until water service is restored.

ICYMI, we talked about the details of the flood on our Daily Detroit podcast earlier this week.

On today's episode we talk about how a new high-speed rail project in Canada could eventually connect up with Detroit, we react to your feedback on the stores and restaurants you'd like to see in

The Great Lakes Water Authority also says it has removed water from the site of the water main break, and crews have excavated the area.

Per a release:

Based upon current conditions, it is anticipated that an approximately 12-foot section of pipe will need to be removed, and the replacement section of pipe has been ordered. The replacement pipe is expected to be delivered on-site within the next 24-hours.

FYI, The city of Detroit has set up a hotline at 313-774-5261. That's where impacted residents can go to get set up in hotels and other temporary services.

Glad to see The Clique get some press

If you've been around Detroit for at least a minute, you know how important The Clique is. It's this diner on East Jefferson where you might run into everyone from a neighbor to a public official.

Bridge Detroit did a great write-up looking at the ups and downs the spot has faced. Go read the thing.

I'll be honest in that I've lapsed in going since the pandemic. Going to fix it this month. Diner breakfast is the best, IMHO.
