A retailer there, I don't recall, was going out of business, the shirt I wore today was from there actually. The construction was around there the summer before last. They're both a bit north for me whereas South Warren I know. . I-75 is far to the west in Oakland County whereas this is Sterling Heights. You're saying constuction there is relevant to the march route along Hall Road? I'm mostly concerned with some knucklehead picking up something and tossing it at cops or through a storefront window.
