While growing up in Michigan and riding with my parents to Detroit, I knew the Big City was close by when we got to Southfield. If I remember correctly that big gold building in the center was American Motors Corporation's (maker of the Jeep) headquarters before Chrysler bought them.
^close, but not quite - that would be the american center, which is a mile or two west.
i'm going to visit detroit again soon. hard to believe it's been 5yrs since i lived there, and i was only witnessing the beginnings of the rebirth. nice pics as well, tony.
Detroit is another city that I love looking at posts about. I absolutely love the canyons of prominent vintage skyscrapers downtown. Unique. I didn't know that the downtown was that thick beyond the clusters around the Penobscot (one of my all-time favorites) and Renaissance towers. Best wishes for a speedy economic recovery, Detroit!
Nice pics! It's good to hear that things aren't as bad as they are made out to be. I watched the documentary 'Detropia' recently, and it left me feeling depressed, but this has the opposite effect.
