Molybdenum

So I've been to Detroit more than a couple times now, but I don't think I've shared many pictures, so here are some! (This is also known as a post where I have done nothing exciting recently besides cry over Andy Schleck losing the Tour). Please don't think that all of Detroit is derelict - there is something that I find intriguing about old abandoned buildings, the beauty that was once there...

This picture ACTUALLY represents the good happening in Detroit. This is old Cass Technical High School, which has been replaced by a state of the art building right next door.

I can only imagine how beautiful the Depot was in its heyday. Now, the cost to save it has far surpassed the cost to tear it down. But it remains because the fight to keep the building has turned into a court case.

I'm not sure how readable this is but it says "Save the Depot."

Fun Fact: You've heard of brown cows and milk cows but have you heard of the "moly cow?" In the medical world, the "moly cow" refers to the use of molybdenum to generate radioactive technetium that is used for medical imaging.
