Lafayette Bldg. collapse set for 1 a.m.
Sorry for the duplicate thread topic, but I figured this might get buried in the other thread. Talked to the excavator operator about an hour ago. He said they're bringing down the eastern elevator wall at 1 a.m., pushing it in from Griswold side. Just thought I'd put it out there for those who want to capture a sad but incredible sight. I'd get there early though, in case it falls right away.
Downtown Detroit Movie Set
So sad to see another gem biting the dust. On November 24, 2009, my husband and I were driving through downtown Detroit and noticed some unusual activity on this landmark corner. I snapped a couple of shots through the windshield and thought this one might be of interest to the group today. Whatever that movie is, it captured the Lafayette in its death throes and will provide a legacy of sorts.
