I find it odd that there's so many historical photos of Detroit. Other than New York City, it seems like Detroit was just an often photographed city. Maybe they knew they were taking photos of a future forgotten city...
Anyway, MCS relative to Downtown aerial. MCS is on the left.

Another thing that's quirky about Detroit is that the skyline "goes" away from the riverfront. Detroit doesn't look like Chicago, basically. I know much of the waterfront was industrial, but even so, I would think that Jefferson Avenue ought to been just as developed if not more than Woodward.
