Tonic Tavern
Opened in 2009 by one of the members of the 5 Card Studs (band), this was an old horse stable and carriage barn/garage for the brownstone next door. What was a driveway is now the patio, the garage provides glassed indoor seating, and the stable part in the back is the bar and stage. Friendly place with the usual drinks and great local live music.

Michigan Central Terminal
The Michigan Central Terminal (MCT), located in Detroit, Michigan, is one of the most iconic and historically significant buildings in the city. Opened in 1913, it was designed by the architectural firms Warren & Wetmore and Reed & Stem, who were also responsible for New York City's Grand Central Terminal. The 18-story Beaux-Arts structure served as a hub for passenger rail service, connecting Detroit to major cities across the United States and Canada. Its grand waiting room, inspired by ancient Roman baths, boasted 54-foot ceilings, marble floors, and elegant chandeliers, symbolizing Detroit's prosperity during the early 20th century. At its peak, the terminal was a bustling transportation hub, handling thousands of passengers daily and reflecting the city's industrial strength and automotive dominance.
However, the decline of rail travel in the mid-20th century led to the terminal's gradual demise. By 1988, MCT ceased operations, leaving the once-thriving landmark abandoned and vulnerable to neglect and vandalism. For decades, it stood as a haunting symbol of Detroit's economic challenges and urban decay. In 2018, Ford Motor Company purchased the terminal, initiating an ambitious restoration project to transform it into a modern innovation hub for mobility and technology.
