I am doing a school project on Ilitch and I need some, "interesting facts." Like how many buildings, how many abandoned buildings, how many surface lots, etc.

There is a list of surface lots in the Statler Hotel demolition progress thread.

heh, don't be too biased when doing your project. It's hard to be indifferent toward a subject like this

LOL, well actually my friend is doing this project and I kept telling my friend bad stuff about him. It was pretty funny, but everyone thinks he is the one that saved the city. He did some good stuff and yet he has not done a lot. More than half of his buildings are abandoned, come on. But my friend's project is very good and it is not even close to being biased.

I think somebody should make a list of all the buildings that were directly or indirectly torn down because of his business operations.

Alot were that didn't need to be. Especially the larger ones fronting Woodward where the Comerica Park lots are. Those are not on the list, but are some of his largest demolitions.
