OMG, this is so sad! I can’t believe this glorious building came to this end….
I was only there once, for a Bowie concert in Fall 1974. But it left a huge impression – the grandeur, beauty, luxury, the feeling of being in another time and place. The velvet, the gold gilt, the plaster, the art not to mention the beautiful building. I left MI in 1981 and so I didn’t know – so very sad to realize Detroit has become such a shell of it’s former self.
This made me cry today when I saw the photos of old and new, hit me square in the heart to know such a wonderous place is no more. Such a crying shame… .
