The Michigan Central Station building MUST BE RESTORED. It should be made a historic landmark and made into a hotel/entertainment mecca. It is on the outskirts of Detroit, but close to Detroit/Windsor casino's and just stands out as a symbol of Detroit's automotive past. It is structurally sound, and has great potential. I would sure be sorry to see this once grand building be allowed to crumble into dust, when it could easily be restored and draw people to the downtown area once again.

Absolutely! Detroit is becoming a city with no memory of its history. A big problem with this project is that the building's owner, Matty Moroun has been fighting to get a second bridge built between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario. Although I haven't found supporting articles, my theory is that Maroun is repairing MCS to garner favor with the city and if his bridge plans fall through, he could just stop work on MCS.

Nick,
I agree with you, it is a disgrace to allow such a magnificent building crumble. However thier is not point in throwing a huge amount of money into a city that is crumbling just as fast. Thier is no way Detroit can recover until the true problem is resolved.....CRIME! The villain Coleman Young is responsible. Since his reign Detroit has been run into the ground by who know who. No one wants to say it but it is true. Sad.
