Crazy thought: Is the real reason Dan Gilbert is deciding to tear down the two towers of the RenCen an improved track design and higher speeds for the Detroit Grand Prix? The conceptual rendering shows a realigned Atwater St eliminating the tight corners at turns 6 and 7

Stopped in the Detroit Renaissance Center last week before it's too late. #rencen

A view of Detroit's Renaissance Center against a somewhat grey sky. gm logo showing on display at very top.

Gloomy day in Detroit looking at the RenCen. #detroit #rencen #naias

With the Renaissance center being demolished in Detroit, does that mean Detroit's Renaissance is over? #detroit #rencen #detroitvseverybody

The ducks are making a return trip from the Ren Center. #Birds #Ducks #rencen #wildlife.

The Ren Center, as seen from Windsor, is no longer GM headquarters and two of the towers nearest the river will be demolished soon. It’s a historic tragedy for this iconic building and landmark. #rencen #iconic #landmark

GM accused of ‘extortion’ over threat to tear down Detroit’s tallest skyscraper Company threatens to tear down RenCen if taxpayers don’t contribute $250m in subsidies for renovation

Never enough for billionaire Dan Gilbert: “These corporations have gotten every penny of public money they have asked for…and it’s egregious when they come out and say, ‘Guess what? If you don’t give us what we want, then we’ll tear down the whole thing.’”

The issue is that they’re not solving the problems of the #rencen fucking up Jefferson and fucking up access to the river… you can’t solve those without removing the two towers on fronting Jefferson… it’s missing the point…

It's amazing how one man can do anything he wants in Detroit.

Flexing one's power is a mofo!
