A Tale of Two Cities | Charles Dickens

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us...”

LiterRohde Michigan Central Railroad Station exemplifies Detroit. Opened in 1913, it was constructed by the Vanderbilts for $2.5 million ($63 million 2018). By 1967, however, it was already in decline - ironically because of the new freeway system filled with all the cars coming out of Detroit. The last train left in 1988. By 2009, it was up for demolition. But in 2018, Ford bought the building with plans to house its autonomous and electric car divisions. 6y

wanderinglynn I wish train travel would come back. I know there‘s a few routes (I‘ve ridden the Amtrak in the northeast several times). But I wish you could get anywhere on the train. I enjoy trains as a way to travel over driving or air. It‘s so much more civilized. 🚆 6y

suvata I‘m originally from Detroit and I love that old building — even beautiful in its decay. 6y

Freespirit Wow what is it used for now? 6y

LiterRohde @Freespirit It has changed hands many times over the years, but nothing has really come of it. The Corktown Campus built by Ford will be the first time it will be used again, from what I understand. 6y

LiterRohde @wanderinglynn Your comment reminds me of Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory and his love of trains. I‘ve never actually used a train to travel. I have ridden the train around the Milwaukee County Zoo though, so that counts, right? 🤣 (edited) 6y

wanderinglynn Totally counts! 😂 But I highly recommend traveling by train. It‘s a lovely way to travel. I went from Harrisburg, PA to DC, DC to New Haven, Connecticut, and DC to NYC. Large, roomy seats, you can get up and walk around, and no worries about traffic! 6y

wanderinglynn And I love Sheldon! #bazinga 6y

Velvetfur What a gorgeous building, and so sad about its decline, but I'm glad its going to be used again. I've seen so many photos of abandoned buildings in Detroit, it looks like it was such a gorgeous city once, and I imagine it still is, I'd like to go there one day 😊 6y

Cinfhen What a beautiful building. Heartbreaking to see so much potential neglected and abounded 💔💔💔once so powerful a city 😔 6y
