Visit to Wyandotte, Michigan
We had a few days to visit family in Michigan. Ed is walking up the steps of his grandparents house at 2623 1st Street.
Much had changed in the decade since I came to Wyandotte to live for the first time. The Wyandotte Theater was demolished and was now a parking lot with some street furniture.
The Sears Building was still vacant except for some painting on the windows trying to screen the large empty expanse.
Austin’s Hyde Park Grille was now a vacant lot awaiting doctors offices that were to be built on the site.
The statue on the waterfront was aging well, though the base was showing signs of cracking. Paint covering over it could not hide the fact that a new base would be needed at some point.
The Detroit River was looking particularly vibrant with Wyandotte on one side and the undevelopoed shore of Grosse Ile on the other.
Another once favorite waterfront restaurant.
Just a block from the housed were several acres of prime property used for parking a few hours out of each week.
