THE PROBLEM OF DECAY, OMAR-S EDITS by LUKE HESS

Two new tracks from Detroit producer Luke Hess with additional production from FXHE's Omar-S!Michigan Central Station built in 1913 for the Michigan Central Railroad, was Detroit, Michigans passenger rail depot from its opening in 1913 until the discontinuance of Amtrak service on January 6, 1988. At the time of its construction, it was the tallest rail station in the world. The building, located in the Corktown district of Detroit still stands today, though it remains unoccupied. Restoration projects and plans have gone as far as the negotiation process, but none have come to fruition. Spread throughout the city of Detroit and its surrounding metropolitan area, the decay of once magnificent buildings during the industrial revolution and automobile era now cast a shadow of despair on a once flourishing city. These monuments of achievement now lay barren and forsaken by city government.
