The Crosley Building looks so…so violated. It’s difficult to believe that the 8th floor of the building gave birth to the soap opera, Red Skelton performed there and so many more dramatic and musical radio programs eminated from WLW there 1930-1943(?). Those were innocent times.
Before the completion of the Detroit Harbor Terminals complex along the Detroit River in Detroit, Michigan, most of the commodities and raw materials used in Detroit were shipped first by water to Cleveland, Chicago, or Toledo and sent to Detroit via the railroad.
There are times when I revisit an old friend and discover something new, such as the case of the long-abandoned Jefferson School in Wheeling, West Virginia. I had not discovered much about the historic structure other than coming upon its demolition in 2013.
