Michigan Central Station Matters
Inspired by the National Trust for Historic Preservation's "This Place Matters"initiative, Preservation Wayne and the Greater Detroit Historic Preservation Coalition have partnered to stage a group photo in front of the Michigan Central Railroad Station (2001 15th St.) on Wednesday, May 20 at 5:30 pm.
Please get the word out to EVERYONE you know. It would be great if this is the largest group picture in Michigan, maybe even the country! The photo will appear on Preservation Nation.
For those not familiar with the "This Place Matters" initiative, the project aims to identify historic places throughout the country that truly matter to people. In Michigan, and Detroit specifically, the MCS has been identified by many as a place that they want to see saved. More details may be found on this website: http://www.preservationnation.org/take-action/this-place-matters/

Please meet in front of Michigan Central Station on Wednesday, May 20 at 5:30 pm. The photo will be taken promptly at 5:45 pm.
Afterward everyone is welcome to participate in dining and cocktail hour at one of the many Michigan Avenue - Corktown establishments.
I encourage everyone to come out next Wednesday. In the mean time, I leave everyone with a video about why the Michigan Central Station is important.

Please, if you have the ear of the organizers of this, have them schedule another on a weekend day - maybe on a game day.
