2000: Greektown Casino Opens.  The last of the three downtown casinos to open for business, Greektown Casino took over the failed Trapper's Alley facility.  The Monroe Street entrance, shown here, opens on a lively restaurant district that once formed the center of Detroit's Greek community.  During the lowest days of downtown Detroit's decline, a core of downtown life tenuously flickered here.


1999: A sculpture by Detroit Artist Robert Sestok sets off the refurbished MetroTimes building.  The south side of the Greektown Casino is seen on the left.


1994: Creative reuse of the former Ferry Seed Building resulted in The Atheneum Hotel.


The 114 foot high waterfall of the Atheneum holds the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's tallest indoor waterfall.
