MCS's Ugly New Windows - a photo on Flickriver

            After many years of being open to the elements Detroit's iconic Michigan Central Station is finally getting windows. Over 1,000 are going in the tower portion.

The downside is the windows are awful. They do not go with the historic train station at all. The upside of course is they will stop, or at least slow, the decay of this landmark building. One day (hopefully) the place will be redeveloped and more appropriate windows can be installed.

I wonder if these windows will cut down on the number of movies this building appears in?
