I`m glad I`m not the only one that gets mad when they tear down amusement parks for condos or more junk we don`t need.....Gawd I hate progress!!!!!

Motts you sure get around the country alot.....With all the pix you took,Love all of them.Love old Railroad stuff also.trestles and such. And the old shipwrecks.

Thanks for the pix that I couldn`t take.....The new Studebaker Museum is on Chapin st.now.....Alot of homeless people and scrappers used to live in these buildings.A couple were killed over scrap metal.By the way ...Anyone check out the old Union Station....A friend used to sneak in there ,Before the restaurant was put in ,and there were old cars in the basement....TheMain floor had a hole in it and some concrete was lying on them.....Not sure if they got them out or not before they revamped it for the restaurant.??????

At least more info then I knew before........

Welcome to "FANtasy Island" ROLMAO.....

Wow ,I live around here and i never explored any of the buildings. most are gone now .Dad and my uncle both worked at studebaker,I used to deliver parts to" allied stamping" back in the 70s when it was still in use and A.M.General off chippewa blvd,which built the army trucks(in the 70s)......

I was awed at the pix ,so I looked for it on google earth,Man that whole island has hulks all around it besides the ones in the pix.....

It is Pronounced " ip(as in trip)-sill-anti" I am a lifelong Michigander...many Indian names all over The state.

They seem very modern for something that old.
And balconies like that always remind me of norwich.

I also want to say I am not against (sp) restraints I have been in the hospital and have been in them while in the E.r. while delireous from an overdose so they can protect us and them but if use by the wrong people in the wrong way you can find out what happens

Thankyou Motts! Keep on rockin in the free world!

I would like to share a very sad story regarding the restrants at the Jackson Prison which is where our Mentally Ill patients that committ petty crimes go. A 22 yo w male he pluged up his sink to get a cup the to sink over flowed and fluded his cell. The staff decided that his punishment would be restraints they took him stiped him of all of his clothing take a board and hold him down on the slab and put him in 4 point restaints no clothing a 100 degree cell he was left there for 3 days a nurse god the dr. yto see him he recomended that he be sent for psych. After 3 days he had been dehydrated laying in his urine and fecial meteral while in 100 degree cell. on the 4 day on hour before he died they took him to the hospital but it was to late. he died 2 hours laters. he was arrested for pettey thieft. The only one that recieved displanary action was the nurse because she didn't sign a paper. what bull sh-t this happened in 06 or 05 i
