Fortune (CNN) has been coming out every issue or so with ideas and progress that Detroit is making in its recovery. They talked a few months ago about Urban Farming given the acres of the abandoned land in the city, more recently Forbes highlighted the progress of Grand Rapids and how Detroit could learn a few things.
The latest I have read is how empty industrial buildings are being leased out as office space – for the Creatives: Glass blowers, cabinetmakers, architects, seamstresses, a sneaker designer, and three women who teach pole dancing, among others — 160 small-business tenants in all… and that only occupies 25% of the building.

Glad you liked the story, but I’m sure you meant to say it was in Fortune magazine, where it was an installment in Time Inc.’s Assignment Detroit.
Thanks Steve… I don’t even read Forbes so who knows why I typed that in, but correction made…
