Excellent photo essay, indeed, Paul. I thought of Richard Nickel's work
while watching it. I just came across Richard Cahan's book on the
photographer, Richard Nickel-- *They All Fall Down: Richard Nickel's
Struggle to Save America's Architecture.* Looks like it will be a good
book--besides any book that begins with a Mike Royko quote is all right by
me. Here's the quote at chapter one: "I figure that anyone who tries to
save landmarks in Chicago is goofy enough to preach celibacy in a Playboy
Club or nonviolence to Dick Butkus." Thanks for posting, Paul. Cheers,
Christine

Subject: GESO: Ryan Southern's pics of Michigan Central Station
A superb photo essay and a sad subject. One of the nation's most beautiful
train stations, Michigan Central closed its doors just 21 years ago. Now
it's doors are open to vagrants, rats and the weather. These pics reveal
its former magnificence, while illustrating its sad decline.
