Unfortunately I don't see UofM as caring about the city any more than MSU. They bought Sparrow and have so far not made any changes for the better. They've not followed through on any of Sparrow's previous capitol improvement plans yet while fighting hard to accelerate the demolition of Eastern to not do anything in a hurry.
The Macotta Club fiasco continues to be a bit of a sore spot for me. I want to know what happened, how much money was spent, who that money went to, where is the money going that was allotted for that project? I can't imagine Eyde just held that first floor vacant for the past few years with no compensation whatsoever. It's a large space though, dividing the space up doesn't look super easy given the mezzanine, a large club/bar or something would fit there but I don't know whether our area can justify it.
