This photo is taken from Spring St., towards the North and shows the back of Washington Street businesses. Most of the trestle in this area has been removed, all the way to the old ore dock on Lakeshore. Shooting East from Fourth St., you can tell how much of the trestle is gone, opening up a pretty big area for a streetscape. The large black grid-like structures used to hold the railroad track. These pieces will be coming down.
Lake Superior is barely visible in the distance.
No matter what happens on the ice this weekend, we're counting on the Wildcats making it to the CCHA Championships March 17 and 18th at Joe Louis Arena. Mark your calendars now for an alumni reception on Friday, March 17. It will take place at Joe Louis, but we're not sure of the time yet. Depends on what game the 'Cats play. Come back and check for more details as we get closer to the event.
