Does anyone happen to have any recent pictures of the alley behind the Vinton Building? I'd like to see if/where it has windows on that wall.

Also, does anyone know where the elevator to the basement garage is/will be?

As some of you might know, I'm recreating the building for Sim City 4. Here's my progress so far:

Any other information about the renovation would be cool too. I'm not sure how much the first floor is going to be changed.

I love the way the Woodward streetscape looks these days!

I hope something awesome goes in on the block just up from Compuware. I've seen some good potential renderings.

I'm sure many have seen this before, but I really like this pic. It's of the opening of the Davison in the winter of 1942.

This historic freeways lights are great. I'd wish more attention to detail was payed to just about everything we build today. Wouldn't it be something if the city that started this whole driving thing at least tried to make their road infastructure unique?

[hudkina]

The thing I find interesting about that picture is that it wasn't necessarily a freeway, but rather a subgrade boulevard.

[RustTown]

It's a depressed, controlled/limited-access with on an off ramps separated from at-grade traffic, so it's most definitely a freeway, though you can tell they've come a long way since 1942.

That's what I mean. It looks more like a boulevard than a modern expressway.

I just want to chime in again and applaud everyone in this forum for representing Detroit and clearing people's negative stereotypes. Keep it up! You ARE the force of citizens that are changing Detroit for the better! :-)
