I got this from a co-worker, Robin Tracey. She wrote and produced this for a show called Sunday Times back in 1987. It’s a rare “video” glimpse of the MCS while it was still in use.
I have a version I did myself of the MCS in 1999. YouTube won’t let me post it since it’s over 10 minutes. Check it out here: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=666038391

The only way to fix that problem for Detroit is tourism, just like my hometown New Orleans did with the oil industry when it went bust. It is not too late.

i was just in detroit this past weekend and saw the structure. it is so sad and tragic. it is a testament to the decline of the United States. Shame on the Detroit politicians (wasnt the mayor more interested in chasing women than taking care of the city) for letting such a magnificent work of art become what it is today. Truly pathetic. People of Detroit – you need to hold your politicans accountable. demand better!

If that’s the case, …
If that’s the case, then why are real estate prices astronomical in places like Boston, New York, and San Francisco? People left the cities in the 1950s because they were run down after 20 years of war and depression, and then the urban renewal charlatans ruined most of them so nobody would want to come back. At any rate, people are going to have to get used to living in close proximity again soon: peak oil is going to kill suburbia whether anyone likes it or not.

They’re going to tear it down so it can become a massive, weed-strewn, empty field. As if Detroit doesn’t have enough of those already.
