Such a shame you can't just pick up entire buildings and put them in cities that are worth a damn. You can tell that at one time that train station was a pretty impressive place--better than nearly any building here in Boise.
I blame the Pistons. Detroit was the jewel of the Great Lakes before the NBA Championship celebrations in the early 90s and in 2004 burnt that city to the ground. The Lions have cared enough about the city to have given them no reason for celebration.
