I too was surprised MCS wasn't on there. Hell, put it in place of the Book Tower. I love that building but I don't think it will be vacant for too much longer.

Here is Preservation Wayne's list of 10 places they want saved. 1. United Artist Building 2. Wurlitzer Building 3. Book Tower & Book Building 4. Wayne County Building 5. Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue 6. Baker's Keyboard Lounge 7. Michigan State Fairgrounds 8. Packard Plant 9. Woodward Avenue Presbyterian Church 10. Historic Fort Wayne

Some more Calumet pics....

I like!

This town looked so deserted I just had to stop for some pictures. *Population- 157 (2000 Census) *Ahmeek is derived from the Ojibway language, it means beaver. *Located in southwestern Keweenaw County, along US-41 and M-26. For some history on Ahmeek....http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Aegean/2272/ahmeekpaper.htm

Calumet *Formerly known as Red Jacket *Was once the center of the mining industry in the Upper Peninsula wikipedia has some interesting history on Calumet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calumet,_MI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calumet_Historic_District I have many more pictures to post from Calumet so make sure you check back.

Wow, I love the architecture!

I wandered around the area near our hotel and took these pictures.

Houghton *Population- 7,010 (2000 Census) *Home to Michigan Tech University *Many Cornish and Finnish came to work at the copper mines. Some French-Candians came to Houghton as well. *Seat of Houghton County Looking across at Hancock, this is the Quincy Mine Smelter

I miss Dayton. Those pictures of the skyline through the trees, where were those taken from?

Nice town

Hancock is located across from Houghton. The Portage Lake Lift Bridge connects the 2 towns. I loved it here because the towns are on hills so you could be in one town and look across the see the other. *Population- about 4,900 *Large number of Finnish immigrants. *Home to Findlandia University These first couple pictures are from the Quincy Mine Smelter. Sorry about the quality, sun ruined them. Here we are at the Quincy Mine Headed down to the Mine!!!

Some nice buildings. I like the railroad station a lot.

I've seen a lot of pictures from Manchester and always thought it looked like an awesome town.

Sad but I like it a lot.

I went to the Upper Peninsula for almost a week. We spent 2 days in Marquette and 1 in Hancock and Calumet each. We even went all the way up to Copper Harbor in the Keewenaw Peninsula. The towns I post pictures of are going to look pretty dead, keep in mind that these were taken in October and it was pretty cold out. In the summer I'm sure Marquette is a pretty busy place. *Population- 19,661 (2000 Census) *Marquette is the seat of Marquette County *Largest city in the Upper Peninsula *Home to Northern Michigan University *Major port on Lake Superior *Averages 141 inches of snow a year

I love the courthouse! I want to explore more of Indiana.

These next 2 are Harmonie Park, I'm wondering exactly what they are doing. Before this guy was built, I saw the fence go up around the old building on the corner and was wondering if it was going to be demolished. I'm glad it wasn't. I'm assuming they are going to fix it up and use it now. Not sure what is being built here...

Here is where the demolished building in Greektown was. ..and Lafayette

Downtown looks pretty nice. I'm going to TN this winter.

Yup, go to the link below for a picture of the building. http://www.planet99.com/detroit/restaurants/new_hellas_cafe.html

The Thompson Block burned down yesterday :(

Tiger Stadium is now completely demolished.

I demand some now and thens!
