Found these old gems just killing some time early this morning Google mapping my way around some of Detroit's not so better neighborhoods.

Detroit used to be such an amazing place . So sad

red first thing that came too my mind was what you just posted.

It was said that Detroit was once called, "The Paris of the Mid West".
Found another one. Funny how so many have the overhangs closed up to make more interior space.

This one not as old, but thought it was cool with the old tow truck out front.

Not sure what brand this one would have been.
It's crazy how many of these old stations are still standing in the neighborhoods of Detroit!
It seemed appropriate, so I changed the title of this thread.

I would love a chance to get inside some of these old buildings and see what old sign or whatever may be hiding in the dust!

Amazing that there are so many old stations still left in Detroit.

Nice pics!
