Pitiful! Looks like "Life After Humans" on the History Channel. Will probably eventually be imploded some day.

As in everywhere else, the disgusting scumbags have been busy with their cans of spray paint. What a sad sight.

Thanks to movie magic, the Michigan Central Depot was magically relocated to "Mission City," fictitiously 22miles north of the Hoover Dam, for the movie "Transformers."
