Cartoon of the Week: The Downtown Real Estate Game Gets Serious Again

Crain's Detroit Business - March 9

The Downtown Detroit real estate game is making a come-back. For a long time, it seemed to be forgotten, but now everybody's interested in rolling the dice and taking a turn.
That's the Point!

Off the Drawing Board: My original concept for this idea featured  more traditional approach of player sitting around a table, playing a board game. As I developed the full-size rough, I thought the composition was more dynamic with the players actually standing on the board, playing the game. My editor, Jennette Smith, suggested mentioning more real estate to broaden the concept.


Way Off the Drawing Board: Another concept I thought had potential for this week's Crain's Detroit Business is the new Detroit Parking System. I still like it, and I'm betting the topic will be in the news again ...

CARTOON of the DAY: Paying (and Paying) to Park

Crain's Detroit Business - August 6

Detroit has returned to being a wonderful destination for dinner and entertainment of all sorts. Just be prepared to have the cost of your outing significantly increase if need to park. If only we had that regional light rail - many of us could leave our cars home, and that transportation option would drive down the cost of parking for those who still choose to motor into the Motor City!
That's the Point!

CARTOON of the DAY: Play It Safe

Crain's Detroit Business - January 23

When the Detroit Police Department began a car theft and vandalism prevention initiative that focused upon creating temporary "No Parking" zones and then towing and impounding the vehicles of visitors to the city and its entertainment venues, I thought to myself, "... Hey! Why not make the city really safe and prohibit visitors - and residents - from carrying valuables to prevent muggings and hold ups?"
That's the Point!
