Abandoned Belle Isle Zoo Featured in Architectural Afterlife Blog

[EastsideAl]

I still feel that it's a huge shame what happened to that zoo. And the cronyism involved was galling and stands as yet another blot on the Kilpatrick administration. I'm still a little bit both sad and angry every time I go past the ruins.

It seems that it's now way past time that something should have done with that area, and perhaps with repurposing those structures. Anyone know if, now that the park has changed hands, the state has any long-range plans or ideas to do anything with that part of the island? Or if it has even been talked about?
