Michigan Palace exterior
These photos are rushed...
...once inside you can’t get out unless a car leaves...
The interior is “French renaissance revival”.
In February 1974, it was filled with an audience high on THC.
 
The Grande is also neglected.
Its neighbors have been bulldozed...
..the roof is failing.
Interior looks derelict
This promise of refurbishment is faded...
