Most folks in Michigan over the age of fifty remember that station in its glory days. The last time I remember being there was when I was in college in the seventies.

Someone once described it as Detroit's Eiffel Tower. Can you imagine the Eiffel tower abandoned and rusting for fifty years? I had a chance to visit after Ford bought it and I refused. I want to return when it's finished.

Corktown is the oldest neighborhood in Detroit and it was probably the only safe one throughout its decline. The idea of a bunch of young tech employees living and working in Corktown, being able to bicycle or walk to work will be epic.

Mr. Ford has it right it will allow the company to compete for the best of the best. GM just bought a SF company to compete. Ford has elevated it to an entirely new level.
