Michigan Central Station, once one of Detroit’s biggest eyesores, will open this week for the first time since 1988 — following Ford Motor Co.’s six-year, nearly billion-dollar project to transform the former train depot into a center for advanced technology.
The station, in Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood, was once bustling with over 4,000 daily visitors. It originally opened in 1913.
