The view from the patio of Green Dot Stables is of the backside of the currently abandoned and forever in some state of rehabilitation, Michigan Central Station.

The station opened in 1913 and remained operational until 1988. At the time of its construction, it was the tallest rail station in the world.

A personal connection to this building would be that my father shipped out from this station to Marine boot camp after being drafted in the Korean War.

A return trip for more photos and further exploration is definitely on the horizon.

"What a great stay we had at The Cochrane House! Our hosts were accommodating and welcoming from the moment we arrived. We stayed at the Cochrane House after attending a couple of sporting events in Detroit. It was so nice to come back to a place that was quiet and peaceful. Breakfast arrived at our door the following morning. Coffee just as we like it and homemade biscuits. The sisters that own this home are terrific hosts. And not only do they care about their guests, they are also committed...

"yes"

The Siren Hotel, an Ash Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The space is amazing. Classic, luxurious and sexy. The staff, especially Ivory at the front desk and the young lady at the coffee shop (the one who wears a head dress, sorry we missed your name), really stood out with their professionalism and kindness. The room was a great size, loved the decor, and the cleaning staff were attentive. Loved that there was a coffee shop/cafe, and a restarant in house - so convenient. We would absolutely stay again.
