The now classic Detroit skyline.
You will all be happy to know that Charlie’s “Roof Trees” are still hanging in there !
From the Detroit News:

The tree is in the last days of her life.
Demolition of the landmark building — sitting on a pie-sliced plot bound by Michigan Avenue, Shelby Street and Lafayette Boulevard — began in September and is expected to be completed by March.

“Feeling that Detroit Vibe”
That ain’t a “vibe”, that’s just the rumble of demolition equipment.
And again, everybody repeat after me: “demolition means progress”.
