I can't help but think it would turn into a circus and just cause more negative press for our city.

Detroit has suffered enough.
True. If it's a run down scary looking building but those ones in Buffalo are preserved, like the Frank Loyd Wright houses in Bloomfield and elsewhere they are on tour for history and architectural significance,much like the old cars on display no one wants to see a rusted out 65 Mustang but a nice cherry red one

If they could be restored [[since they can't be preserved originally anymore) people would maybe not come to see them alone but if they are in the city for other reasons why not make it a tourist attraction? The Fisher building is fantastic inside. And what do you think Greenfield Village is?

Add a little car history after cleaning up Woodward to show the first paved road in America [[7 mile and Woodward?) the first freeway, the Davison.

I'd also say since they have the Motown museum they could do a rock or people from Detroit one like Bob Seger, Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, The White Stripes, MC5, The Stooges, and yes even Kid Rock and Eminem.

Instead of tearing things down to make parking lots.
