The owner of the Ambassador Bridge, Morey Mouron, is promising to put new windows into the Detroit Train Station, which he also happens to own.<\/p>\n
The Detroit Train Station was built in 1913 and had 11 different tracks.\u00a0 With more that 200 trains departing from it daily, it was a major facility.\u00a0 The station closed in 1988 when Amtrak ended service to the location. From then on, the building fell into disrepair.<\/p>\n
Soon, windows in the 18 story structure were broken and the facility was totally vandalized.\u00a0 It became an eye sore for the entire city.<\/p>\n
But, when the city voted to demolish the structure, some preservationists stepped in and blocked the destruction.\u00a0 The eye sore suddenly became the focus of a historic preservation effort.<\/p>\n
Now, Mr. Mouron realized that the facility could not be sold as it is.\u00a0 So, he decided to replace the windows in the station.\u00a0 With new windows, it might actually be sold.<\/p>\n
And if it isn’t sold, at least the vandals will have fresh windows to break.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
