Detroit’s iconic Michigan Central Station is getting ready to re-open its doors after more than three decades of abandonment, and following extensive restoration by Ford. Throughout those years the building’s various owners and city leaders have argued about whether to save it or knock it down. Many will tell you - it's a miracle the building is still standing. Events are planned June 6-16.
