SAVE TIGER STADIUM

HELLO
You can help save historic Detroit Tiger Stadium.
There is no reason to demolish Tiger Stadium, the City had no money and no developers for the site. The plan announced by the City was just smoke and mirrors to deflect publicity generated by the new Tiger Stadium documentary - Stranded at the Corner -....
Detroit has Ford Auditorium sitting on prime / primo riverfront land that has been vacant twice as long as Tiger Stadium and has not developed a plan for it...prime riverfront property.
Herman Gardens has been cleared for years, 140 acres of ranch land - now, and no developers are coming forward...so so so why the rush to demolish Tiger Stadium.
The answer, Mike Ilitch owner of the Detroit Tigers and Red Wings, who is the defacto custodian of Tiger Stadium is afraid that the site will compete with his other entertainment venues for business. He has accepted over $4. million tax payer dollars to secure and maintain
Tiger Stadium and as you can see as you drive by it, he hasn't spent the money on Tiger Stadium.
The FBI has been asked to investigate where the taxpayer money went.
Boycott Little Caesars Pizza locations and call the Mayor's office (313 224 3400) and the City Council (313 224 4504) and tell them save Tiger Stadium as an entertainment venue and to accept proposals to develop it.

DETROIT'S PARK LAND - NO SALE

Park land once developed can't be reclaimed
Detroit should not sell, park land for any purpose.
Detroit has too many abandoned homes and sites,
too many abandoned vacant lots.
Detroit needs to tear down abandoned properties and
assemble them in parcels that can be used by developers
There is no need to sell park land to developers in Detroit
Mayor Kilpatrick has taken the -friends and family program
to far - we saw it in the Rackam Golf Course case - the bidder
was a contractor for the City.
Call the Mayor's Office (313) 224 3400, and City Council (313) 224 4505
and tell them - don't sell any park land.
