Forgotten Detroit

Our pal Dave sent along this link to the Forgotten Detroit website. It's a fascinating (not to mention sobering) look at Detroit architecture. As the site notes, "Detroit is known for one of the most stunning collections of pre-depression architecture in the world" yet, in the past several decades, "several of these treasures sit vacant, waiting for economic revival." The photos are nicely done and richly evocative. See, for example, the waiting room of Michigan Central Station from today and from 1913.
