Wow, I've got all the respect in the world for D.G. and everything he's done for Detroit but this stuff is just abhorrent. It looks like they set a schizophrenic eight year old loose on the interior design of the Chase. No way I could work in an environment like that. The Madison just looks cheap. This is by far much worse than any of the seventies-era excesses around town that you'll see on record at various UrbEx sites. Kudos for refurbishing all these old buildings and filling them up with people again, but what's with the deliberately poor taste? It's not ironic, just ugly! -Anon [Downtown Detroit's New Decor is An Atrocious Attention Whore]
