Started out downtown with the Fyfe, Mutual and Statler.
|
|
|
The cheesy Statler window covers are torn.
|
|
|
More Statler.
|
|
|
Heading away from downtown is this modern building.
|
|
|
On the way to Belle Isle, I see the Waterworks Park gateway.
|
|
|
The 'newer' Belle Isle Casino, which dates back to 1908. Don't tell me, lemme guess, Albert Kahn designed it, right?
|
|
|
The Anna Scripps Whitcomb conservatory. I heard a lot of birds chirping here and at first thought it to be a bird sanctuary.
|
|
|
I snapped this before I realized it was a bathroom.
|
|
|
Looking across the river from Belle Isle.
|
|
|
Looking across the river again from Belle Isle.
|
|
|
A tower-like structure on Belle Isle.
|
|
|
The ruins of the Belle Isle Stable.
|
|
|
A building which appears to be enjoying restoration.
|
|
|
After exiting Belle Isle it started raining sideways, but I managed to squeeze in a shot of the Whittier Hotel.
|
|
|
Another shot of the Whittier Hotel. It appears to be returning back to nature.
|
|
|
Across E. Jefferson from the Whittier is this apartment complex on the corner of Agnes & Holcomb.
|
|
|
Right down the street on Holcomb is this old church.
|
|
|
Had to stop and get gas, and caught this shot.
|
|
|
After getting gas, I mistakenly went the wrong way on Mt. Elliot and saw this Coast Guard Bldg.
|
|
|
On the way home up Grand Blvd, I managed to capture a shot of the long defunct Packard Plant.
|
|
|
Another angle of the Packard Plant. Click here for a panoramic shot.
|
|
|
I started getting hungry and I remembered someone mentioning there was a Hardees Hamburgers on Coolidge near 11 mile in Berkley.
|
|
|
After turning around and heading back to Hamtown, I squeezed-in this shot of St. Florian Church.
|
|
|
This weekend is the Hamtramck Blowout at Lili's and other bars.
