RIP Mike Ilitch

RIP Mike

The man did a hell of a lot towards reviving downtown Detroit. This is a sad day for D Town

This is also likely a bad thing for Tigers and Red Wings fans as both teams are going to face major changes.

Will always love him for bringing young me a bunch of Stanley Cups. However, older me is not so starry-eyed to ignore the boondoggle that is the public funding of the new stadium.

Wow. Ouch. Detroit sports will change. I’m sorry he (and we) never got his World Series champion.

Yeah, Im not thrilled about that but I do give him a bit of a pass due to the major effort he put into rebuilding and reclaiming downtown Detroit.

Holy crap - I don’t know this guy from @inactive_user but apparently this guy paid Rosa Freakin’ Parks rent on the down low for the last ten years of her life.
