Detroit old train station under renovation in December 2019. Iconic building in downtown Detroit, Michigan
The view from the patio of Green Dot Stables is of the backside of the currently abandoned and forever in some state of rehabilitation, Michigan Central Station.

The station opened in 1913 and remained operational until 1988. At the time of its construction, it was the tallest rail station in the world.

A personal connection to this building would be that my father shipped out from this station to Marine boot camp after being drafted in the Korean War.

A return trip for more photos and further exploration is definitely on the horizon.
I'd heard about Detroit and the buildings abandoned from the declining economy. None more majestic nor haunting though than this epic train station.

Shower head was wacky and there was loud hammering in the morning near the 10th floor. People had their phones in the Spa which was kind of annoying. Besides that, it was great like usual!

Enjoyed the hotel. The room was big and lived using the jacuzzi. The only thing is the shower and tile in the bathroom area is kind of old and outdated probably should just be redone.
