Eastern Market

Since 1891 the people of Detroit have been flocking to the sheds of Eastern Market to buy produce, flowers, and antiques. Kevin and I had a wonderful breakfast at Russell Street Deli and picked up some great cheese from the historic R. Hirt Jr., Co. (1893). The market is open all year round and I'm curious to see what winter will bring to the selling floor.

I had fun this weekend testing out my new lens that adds more of a dreamy effect to my photography.

Detroit Love

Aint talkin 'bout Philly, no
Aint talkin 'bout DC., no
Aint talkin 'bout New Orleans, where
they say the funk got started
I'm talkin 'bout the D, i'm talkin 'bout the D y'all
I'm talkin 'bout the D
It's a Detroit thing

Michigan Central Station







This Detroit train station was built in 1913 by the same architect that created the Grand Central Station in NYC. At the time, it was the tallest train station in the world. Now it sits abandoned with no future plans to restore it.
