I feel the MCS can just be left as is and respected as such... Just like ruins out in Greece... The Detroit City council needs to focus their energy out of shame and into actually bettering the community.... Detroit schools, fixing roads, creating parks & gardens, etc.... Tearing down this one building will not make people feel better about seeing the thousands of burnt out homes... It won't help the "image" of Detroit one bit... It's just a huge waste of money... My 2 cents...

The biggest crime as far as I see it, is the Detroit City Council even considering spending nearly 4 million dollars in stimulus funds to demolish a building that actually draws people to Detroit... It's insane... I've met photographers from as far as Germany & Toronto who've come to Detroit just to see it...

The city of of Detroit is stupid. They should have spent about half a million dollars in 1988 to better secure a peice of their history. Then this beautiful building would not be in the shape it is in now. All it would have took is one or two security guards to keep this place up and it would still be in working shape now. They could even make money from donations and historic tours.

UNBELIEVABLY no one has mentioned that the building IS BEING MOTHBALLED... The building owner has sunk millions into cleaning out the interior, is cleaning the facade, and putting in new (custom ordered) windows.. plus a new roof is being installed.

No use for it yet... but being mothballed from the elements, and possibly being lit up at night, will go a long way to keep out the elements.  Even the city is rebuilding the park in front of MCS.

New windows/roof/cleaning will go a long way!!
