    I really like that first picture. That's the Catholic diocese building, isn't it?

    It's the Michigan Catholic Conference building. It's a catholic services organization, and isn't directly associated with the diocese. The provide insurance and retirement services to catholic employees around the state, and act as a the official public policy voice for the Catholic church in Michigan. I'm a former employee as it happens.

    Yeah, the local diocese building is actually within the St. Mary's Cathedral Church complex just north of the Capitol Building. And, of course, the archdiocese is in Detroit.

    I just saw that shot, and have been asking the guy where he took the photo from. I might try and get that shot, myself, now that I know it's accessible.

    I love that picture, both for the skyline and the grffiti in the foreground, it makes for a great contrast.

    Just testing out my new camera. It's too bad it was on such a depressingly cloudy day:

    nice shot, it looks like you pasted two photos together, on the right side by the Lugnut chimney, but i could only notice that due to the different shade of sky. I like it though.

    Yes, it's a pan, and far better than what my old camera could do. It's actually three photos.

    Malcolm X Homesite in Lansing, as part of Black History Month. I am disappointed that the marker leaves out the racist history of Lansing and what the Littles had to experience.

    Check out this interesting photo I found of Michigan Avenue during the 1910's in the WSU Virtual Motor City archives:



    You can see the Washington Square Office Building under construction, and you can see 101 South Washington Square before it's many reclads.

    You can see that this appears before the capitol dome was painted white. It used to be the same color as the rest of the sandstone facade.
