detroit: Startup Weekend Detroit is Coming -- Can You Help Make it Possible? - 02/01/09 05:47 PM

Shannon Paul the social media voice of the Detroit Red Wings, has taken on bringing Startup Weekend to Detroit. If there is one thing Detroit needs right now, it is jobs, and Shannon is doing her part to create some new ventures here. Who knows, the next Google or Amazon.com could be born in Detroit this year.
Shannon says:
We’re hoping to attract about 100 attendees with great ideas and deep skills, but once they get here we need to feed them — a free t-shirt would be a nice touch, too, along with some groovy stickers. We also need … (3 comments)

detroit: Marketing Makeover: The Suburban Detroit Loft Market - 08/24/06 07:48 AM
Marketing works.  Right now the hot commodity in Detroit’s hippest suburbs (I know that sounds like an oxymoron, stop laughing!) is the loft.  But suburban Detroit is not Soho, and our trendy suburbs do not have warehouse districts with artists squatting in abandoned buildings and gentrifying them.

Click on that link, you gotta see the thing.  I mean it.

detroit: Where do they get this stuff? - 08/17/06 07:05 AM
A mortgage rep we work with sent me this article from USA Today about the Detroit real estate market.  Personally, I don't know where they are getting their data.  Maybe they are only talking about the city of Detroit. 
We work in the suburbs, and while we are seeing increased inventory, actual sales in my market are up over 2005.  This is not  getting reported.  Frankly, Dmitry and I have never been busier than the last 3 months!  Homes are selling and the MLS stats show this.  Its not all gloom and doom in metro Detroit. 
And another thing, there are 6 … (10 comments)
