“Police have the affected area of the parking lot cordoned off but the mall is open for business,” she said.
Hendrix said DTE is expected to be done with the repair by 3 p.m.

If it weren't for the article itself, the map could give the false impression that there was an interior gas leak right in the Grand Court, called the Center Court today.

Thank goodness it wasn't an interior gas leak.

It certainly seems as though our utility companies have let the infrastructure go to rot while raising prices and adding numerous "fees" to all of our monthly bills. Utility companies are some of the very few that aren't required to adhere to federal monopoly regulations. Its not like any of us can go out and shop the competition for energy prices, theres only one game in town. Its almost like it should be illegal to force out competition, then raise rates all the while reducing service because you are at no risk of losing customers. Oh, wait - it is illegal...for most businesses.

Gas leaks, power outages, exploding houses in Royal Oak. It seems our failing infrastructure is affecting more than just the condition of the roads.
