The Michigan Theater

Let me offer a revised marker.

  "For eons a primordial forest stood here,  intersected by nearby Native American trails. With the arrival of European settlers, it first became farmland, then was incorporated into an inconsequential small city upon which a small shop was built. In that shop, Henry Ford, a man of checkered genius, began a career that would change the world with his method of producing cars.  His ideas so prospered the city that his historic shop was eventually cleared away to make way for a large and elegant cinema. Ultimately the consequences of his inventions would doom the cinema and building housing it to obsolescence, such that it became necessary to turn the cinema into a parking lot to try to save the building.".
