I mean smith. Sure it might be boxy and uninspired as some have described it, it may not be as nice as mcnamara or a lot of other new terminals, but it will be a very welcome addition to DTW.
I am a frequent flyer of NW, however my company doesn't always book me on NW and I frequent DTW a lot so I have ended up at the old smith plenty of times. In fact the last time being a couple weeks ago. I'm not kidding, we got off the plane and everybody started complaining about the foul odor all the way down the concourse. Smelled suspiciously like someone dropped their pants and went right in the middle of the walkway. What a way to welcome people.
Originally I am from the metro Detroit area and I have plenty of family still there, and I know they are looking forward to having a new non-skyteam terminal. North may not be the best, but just about anything would be a 1000% improvement over the old smith.
