[rbdetsport]

Beautiful Picture in a Beautiful City! Where does that employee ramp go?

[Michi]

I believe it is the lower levels of the Compuware Garage (to the right).

I guess you didnt pick up on the humor there. One Kennedy construction started this past spring/summer.

[dtown]

oh, sorry, i didnt get it

[bobjgumby]

Nice! Michi, did you use 100,000 X zoom and shoot that from Rogers City?

Ahhh don't scare me wolverine I used to live in Rogers City. Hated it, talk about backwoods hell.

[Michi]

^No you didn't! I was the only one from there. There's no population now, since I left.

Really, who are/were you? Everyone knows everyone (and then some).

[dtown]

haha, small world

Moved up there in eighth grade and moved away in 95 after 11th grade. My name is Ken Sherman. I really did not like living there. Seemed like if you were not originally from up there they treated you like crap, a real children of the corn feel. Used to live at the top of the hill at 6th and Ontario, they really fudgeed the house up after we moved out, painted it lavender - over the brick entry way and everything.

Here are a few pictures of the office and locker rooms of Brennan Pools on Plymouth Rd. in Detroit

[Zissou]

Heres my contribution.

[RustTown]

Wow, "Big City" Detroit! You captured it quite well.

[dtown]

i agree, thats great!!!

[Michi]

That's one heck of a contribution, Zissou!!

Zissou, is that taken from the 1001 Woodward Ramp? I have a very similar one, but it is from a foggy day and looks 100x worse. Nice catch!!

edit: nevermind, I was thinking of a totally different perspective. Looks like this is from the Whitney Bldg, just a guess.

Its either from the top of the Broderick or very close to the top of the Broderick I cant quite remember. I completely forgot I had this picture til yesterday. Im glad I stumbled upon it.

[Michi]

I've never noticed the section on the back of Old Main that has completely different design features from the rest of the building. What's the story there (if there is one.)

**It's great the things that you'll only notice once you have a picture**

[Zissou]

Nice photo. Hopefully ill be taking classes there in the fall.

[Michi]

Well, Old Main was originally Detroit Central High School and I believe that as the school grew, they probably added on new wings to the building. But I don't know for sure.

[Zissou]

I didnt know it used to be a high school. Thats amazing that that kind of building was built for a highschool. Man have times changed.

If I had to guess, I would say that the section that I was refering to was the addition from maybe the 20s that filled in the space between two wings on the original school.

Excellent photos everyone!

The Fisher Building Lobby. The lobby contains 41 different kinds of marble, as well as a hand-painted ceiling.
