G.M leveled an entire neighborhood for the Hamtramck/Detroit plant, such a waste. G.M just wants to leave Detroit for good. I Wouldn't be surprised if they eventually move their headquarters to Texas...

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/147965386/charles-wilson-kotcher. Another article I'll post talks about how it stopped working after it was cleaned and...

Beaux Arts, perhaps they were thinking in that direction.

The Beabien family was there when the lead box was opened and apparently there was a story that was passed down from generation to generation that if Old City Hall was ever demolished or the land was...
The historical museum might put that on display
Believe it or not I had a relative that passed a few years back that had a jar full of gold coins. When FDR recalled gold they refused to turn the coins in.
I just read it did go before the supreme court.
Kennedy square. After its demolition, they had an underground parking garage there but that didn't last long. I believe Ernst & Young is on the lot now. if you look at the pic of people throwing...
