13226866, oh wow at the Detroit-Windsor bid not making the cut

I was really rooting for that one :(


Toronto is still in play. I'm scared it would turn into San Francisco overnight lol, but I do think it offers specific advantages that US cities could not (eg. a buffer against fluctuating immigration policy in the US)

Interesting about the Montgomery County bid, I've heard no buzz about this one. I read recently the Discovery Channel hq is moving from DT Silver Spring to NYC, which leaves a large commercial campus vacant across the street from a busy metro station/MARC stop.. wonder if that location is being considered.

And kind of sneaky to group Montgomery County as completely seperate Washington DC. Geographically and fiscally they are, yes, but would definitely be pulling talent from the same DMV metro area, not to mention using the same transportation infrastructure..
