Wayne State University Construction

Image
  4/10/21 - I believe this is going to be the new Wayne State Theater but there is on information no their website. This is looking north onCass Ave.       I'm not sure what this structure is. It is just north of I-94 on Anthony Wayne Drive.     And near that structure will be a new overpass that empties onto Anthony Wayne Drive. This is looking north towards New Center Area.     And the new hockey arena is nearing completion. Mystery solved. It is actually a new bridge that they are going to install over I-94 on Sunday, July 10th. Amazing!

Michigan Central Train Station

Image
     May 20, 2009  Train Station currently owned by Mattie Marroon, Detroit slumlord and owner of the Ambassador Bridge. He allows the building to sit empty and open to the elements for decades until enough civic outcry when he pledges to install windows.       8/9/2015 He installs the windows but they are of cheap quality and not architecturally accurate.        6/24/2018 Ford Motor Company purchases the building to become part of their Autonomous Vehicle Program and opens the building this weekend to visitors before renovation begins.    8/5/2019 5/13/2020 10/8/20 3/16/2021 Starting to see progress
