As a Detroiter, this hits all too close to home. I love historic buildings mainly because we will NEVER build structures as beautiful as this again. I am sure the train station off Michigan avenue will soon meet a similar fate. How sad indeed.

It makes my heart sink when I see this kind of thing happen. I worked for an architecture firm a few years ago and they had to turn a very ornate yet run down church into a homeless shelter and basically gut the place and put in a drop ceiling in the middle of the large main area to save on heating costs. They said they hate doing things like that but they're forced to all the time. We need to save as many of these buildings as we can before America turn into a giant strip mall.

I saw Badfinger and the New York Dolls (not all the same night) at The Michigan Theatre around 1970ish.

Saw many concerts back in the mid 70's. Rush and Kiss together, Ted Nugent and battle of the bands with Cactus. BOC. Anyone else?

It may be sad to see such a beautiful building turned into a parking garage, but what choice to they have?
If they couldn't pay the upkeep by using it as a theatre, there was no other use for it.

From the looks of this video, this old theatre is now pretty much an abandoned building where people are allowed to park in. How depressing.

i agree.. at least they turned it into sumthing usefull and not jus destroy it like they wont to do to michigan central station =[
at lest wen ppl park there cars they can still see the amazing architecture and it can always bring the memories back alive
