The Quality Inn at Michigan and Brady in Dearborn will soon be razed.

Say good-bye to the Quality Inn, the long-vacant, badly decaying building at the corner of Michigan and Brady.

If all goes as planned, the building will come down by the end of September, according to officials in Dearborn’s economic development department. City officials this week are expected to meet with the demolition company to go over some final details so work can begin.

The property, owned by the Dearborn Historical Museum, will be used to expand the museum’s space and a portion will be put on the market for interested parties to develop with light retail. At one point, the site was considered a possible site for student housing for those who attend the University of Michigan-Dearborn.

With the economy still weak in the knees and banks tight-fisted with loans these days, it is hard to image the property being quickly developed. Even so, removing this eyesore will go a long way to improving the look of west Dearborn.

Now, if we could just get some of those other rotting buildings along Michigan Avenue in west Dearborn removed . . .
