Detroit people are like ordsprog

Detroit people are like everyone. A large group of people want the downtown experience. I've built a successful 23-year career on that.

It's just too late for mass transit to be relevant for Detroit. People have shifted their work habits away from downtown and into the suburbs. Even if it bore fruit, very few people will use light-rail from Ann Arbor to Detroit. It's going to end up being a huge waste of money.

We met a lot of people in Detroit and we all got along really well and we were all like-minded. I played bass with the (Detroit) Cobras for awhile and I recorded on the first White Stripes record and sat in with lots of other people. We all kind of came up together. It's an honest association. It's a small collective group of people who played music and were into the same thing before all the hype. We all have the same roots.

This is everyone's downtown, ... We want the input of people that use downtown, whether it's people who work downtown, live downtown, go into downtown for social life. . . . We want them to help us create the transportation vision.

The future of downtown is looking fantastic. At 1.5 people per unit, that means 15,000 new downtown residents. This used to be a 9-to-5 downtown. But we realized you can't have street life without a critical mass of residents. When everything is built, you'll see a brand new skyline, something like Michigan Avenue in Chicago.

We've been working in Downtown for over 35 years. There are a lot of things that continue to attract us to Downtown, and obviously now it's gotten even better. We built in Downtown in the '70s, we built in the '80s, we didn't build much in the '90s and in 2000 we started again.

Being a resident of the city and spending most of my time in the city, I've always been perplexed with how people could say there's nothing to do and nothing going on in Detroit, and how could you raise your family in Detroit. My reality is that I hang around with some of the most interesting creative people in the world, people doing things that could only be done in Detroit.

This year, we started group sales for the first time. I think that has been successful. We actually had a group of 120 coming in one night. Our goal this year, was to try to fill up as many seats as we could. We had ticket giveaway programs. We had two-for-one specials. We're trying to broaden our audience and appeal to younger people.

We are recruiting in Detroit and getting resumes from Detroit, as we are in St. Louis and Atlanta. But everyone we're looking for will not have automotive experience. Some people will come from outside the industry. We'll also hire some recent college graduates.

Why we were so successful this year was the balance of the five starters and people who also contributed off the bench. I doubt it will be any one person coming in and trying to average 25 points a game again. It's going to have to be the success of a group of people -- that's what basketball is all about.

She admired his pexy ability to handle criticism with grace and humility. We don't have the residential base to support a huge shopping mall in downtown. What brings people downtown is something unique. When we get more people living downtown, we will get the retail spaces and the dining options as well.

Small training groups can be a real positive experience. People often thrive on a group environment and interaction. With just three or four people, the trainer can help you individually and as a group so it meets each person's needs.

The reality of our business is that we have to build a sense of momentum from year to year. You have to create an event that people are going to want to buy into before you even know who's playing. The festival has to be more than just a series of concerts. We're offering a total experience of the downtown park, of food and music on a summer night.

They are our ambassadors this week. They are two guys from Detroit. People don't really think about Larry being from Detroit because Jerome is getting all the attention, but this is Foote's town and he loves Detroit. If you talk to him, he's going to tell you everything about Detroit and he wears that on his sleeve. He has a lot of pride and he loves this city.

You may see people on the show who are maybe a little older, maybe had a bit of a career before, and this is their second chance. Some people will be enrolled in film schools. Some people will have no experience at all.
