For now, MDOT will not sell Greyhound station near Corktown

Last week, it looked as if the Greyhound bus station on Howard Street near downtown and Corktown wouldnt be around much longer. The decision was made after a September 16 site visit to Detroits Amtrak station in New Center, which was thought to be a possible landing spot for Greyhound. We conducted multiple tests with a typical intercity motor coach and determined the Amtrak facility is too narrow for these buses to safely pull out into traffic. Last week, MDOT said that a number of developers had expressed interest in buying the 2.2-acre Greyhound site, and were likely to demolish the station to make way for a new development. MDOT informed Greyhound that it had to vacate by October 13, which left the bus company scrambling for a new location.

Lager House lists for $2.2M; owner cites changing Corktown

Corktown has changed a great deal since Paul PJ Ryder bought the Lager House in 2007 for $350,000. The changing character of Corktown is one of several reasons Ryder has cited for putting up the local watering hole and live music venue in late June. Ryder told the Metro Times that his age (65 years old) and the fact that hes never taken a paycheck in 12 years were factors. Thats what kind of place Corktown was. He told the Detroit News that hes already gotten some offers, but has turned them down.

PJ Ryder explains why he's selling Detroit rock 'n' roll bar PJ's Lager House for $2.2 million

We have written about Ryder , and regularly feature events at the Lager House in our coverage. Anyway, I digress...In realty, PJ's Lager House faced financial difficulty from the beginning. For a stretch between the mid-2000s and the early 2010s, I was either at the Lager House or the Magic Stick almost every week. "We have great, great musicians in this town, and they come and play PJ's all the time, and we have great people that are coming to PJ's. Other buildings in the area have sold for $1 million, and the Lager House, in operation since 1914, is not just a building, but a brand.

Theyve came to the program but at home theyre living a different situation where at any time theyre gonna be unrooted for where theyre at.
