The Highland Park PD - A couple miles down the road. Always an adventure as I pass through.

Continental Motors

Highland park Adult Education Facility

More Michigan Central Rail

Some visual perspective on what the loss of industry can do for you too! Urban exploration is a pretty popular past time here now, so there's always good pics of what once was.

The Model T plant in Highland Park, Michigan. I drive past this almost every day, but there is now a new development in front of it.

Ford World Headquarters from the early century

The Ford Piquette Plant

(this facility is now used, or is attempting to be used as an automotive heritage center)

The Studebaker Piquette Plant

It's unfortunate end:

Fisher Body Plant 21

Packard Motors

Russell Industrial Center

Michigan Central Rail

Detroit Boat Club

Belle Isle Stables

Rivertown

8th Precinct Police Station

Detroit Northeastern High

Highland Ave Apartments

Brush Park (this is the neighborhood behind Camilo Pardo's downtown studio. Attempts are being made to restore some of these buildings, but it is slow going)

these images bring me to the verge of tears. I really wish I could've seen Detroit in all her glory. These relics and architecture were a result of the men who changed the world.

These guys would throw celebrations equal, or larger in size to the World's Fair...
