The Michigan St. train depot, once every bit as magnificent, if not more so, than Grand Central Station. It’s sad to see what’s become of it. To see it standing, battered and abandoned amongst the rest of the battered and decaying neighborhood is just a tragedy. It’s on the outskirts of Corktown, the Irish neighborhood that’s undergone a facelift, and right down the road from Tiger Stadium, another abandoned wreck that’s almost completely torn down, except for one corner. The city never could get it together enough to salvage it for posterity. A part of 20th century American cultural history, gone forever, in both cases.
