Awesome news. I think Gilbert has been the tipping point for Detroit.

He did a talk a few years ago when he built the "Z" garage that everything that is done shouldn't always be "what option is the cheapest". It was more expensive to design the Z Garage with ground floor retail, paying for art etc - but the mindset needed to pivot to what is the world class option.

Think Shinola, Jolly Pumpkin, TownHouse, Wills Leather etc - places that are opening are now decorated and built to be world class as opposed to a pity project (e.g. smaller Whole Foods, smaller scale Meijer). The thinking before was "they should just be thankful we're here - regardless how ****ty the service or small the selection). Now the game is changing to making the Detroit locations the "flagship" locations.
