Ideas for Train Depot?

A column by Rochelle Riley in today's Free Press highlights some of the ideas bouncing around about what to do with the Train Station: http://www.freep.com/article/20111127/COL10/111270482/Rochelle-Riley-A-new-idea-for-an-old-eyesore?odyssey=modnewswelltextFRONTPAGEp

While I had read earlier that the Moroun's were open to suggestions, I didn't realize that they had setup a website for people to submit their ideas: http://talktothestation.com/

If you have any thoughts on what they could turn Michigan Central Station into, please share them with Matty Moroun!

Some ideas I have:


  • Turn it into a Union Station type food plaza with cuisines from all over the world

  • Turn it into a nexus for all consular offices in Metro Detroit (e.g., honorary consulates, official consulates) and a free trade zone

  • Turn it into a dedicated museum to show a portion of Nasser David Khalili's extensive art collection from the Middle East and Arab lands on permanent display
