Detroit always has been the home of the Labor Movement. I was proud to spend this morning walking with our labor workers, leaders and supporters in today’s Labor Day parade in honor and recognition of the sacrifices so many have made on behalf of workers rights.

The Palace fell victim to trends its creators never anticipated — the movement back to the city of Detroit, the desire for walkable urbanism.
