It's about a mile-and-a-half from Cobo Center.

That building is a few steps from my front door. I haven't been inside, but apparently trees grow from the top floor, where parts of the roof have collapsed.

I recently posted a guide to what I can see outside my apartment window. I neglected to mention this book depository but it is visible. The third arrow in "I SWEAR THE BRIDGE IS RIGHT ABOUT HERE" points to the corner of it. Perhaps I should revise the panorama.

Outside my window

Despite the urban ruin, I enjoy living here. My neighborhood is only 1 1/2 miles from the center of downtown, but there are people growing food, keeping starter orchards, and raising chickens here. My street is packed with musicians, and I get to look at the amazing Michigan Central every day when I walk out my door while cheerfully humming the music from the opening of "Naqoyqatsi".
