So true Mica. And once again we see no attention paid to confidentiality, same as we saw in the hospitals Mr. Motts has visited.

I agree with N, wanderer and theDeathVegetable. How sad for Detroit and its workers.

wanderer - what a nifty comment :-)

theosophy |THēˈäsəfē|
noun
any of a number of philosophies maintaining that a knowledge of God may be achieved through spiritual ecstasy, direct intuition, or special individual relations. I had never heard of this before now.

That one is abandoned also? Poor Detroit, in such bad shape. I really look forward to your photos of the Metropolitain Building, Mr. Motts.

Oh boy, a new gallery. This is a lovely shot. Would be nice wallpaper.

This is where I get my fix of old and abandoned Thanks for sharing your talent!

Hi.
You've made a identification error here.
That munition is clearly marked for CN Tear gas, not OC.

I was courious what was written on that tape so I've decoded the visible parts. Here are the fragments:
"thermos"
"this raise"
"suen could there"
"be an actived"
"tionship betw"
"corporati"
"the employer"

I stumbled upon a similar tape once, and was disappointed with the contents: "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" - repeated over and over again.

That brickwork is incredible. Imagine the cost to replicate that today...if you could find masons who posess that level of skill...very unlikely. My whole point is, when we lose these buildings, we also lose the remarkable design and craftmanship they required from a bygone era, never to be replicated.

Michigan Central defines Detroit. Marvelous history, unmistakeable purpose and presence, robust and resilient, this incredible landmark will endure into the future just as the city it represents will.

If people only knew that those words were all too prophetic. Great photoshoot Mr. Motts. Planning on a visit to the Motor City this fall myself.

SIGN ME UP!

Detail of the woodwork is gorgeous.

Raf seems to be correct. Think it's Telex type. I've used it in one of my first jobs. Yes, I'm getting up there in age.
