This is great news, especially when there are retail establishments opening in the neighborhoods for a change. This would also be their first westside locations. Maybe we could get a downtown location next. It certainly beats another Family Dollar, Beauty Supply or Liquor Store

This is what I found interesting though...

A moderator can delete this thread. It was meant for the Detroit forum and I added it here by mistake. I'm having problems with my internet connection.

Well, it's a year later and the Federals building is still empty. Not much is going on across the street at the Montgomery Wards building either.

It's 2014 and old Federals building is still boarded up.
The place was a gem when it opened in 1949.
Any other photos of the area?
