How to get there

To get this shot of the Michigan Central Train Depot and the neighborhood streets below it, I stood on the roof of a residential building in the Corktown area.
If you don't know anyone that lives in the building, you can contact the real estate company and they'll connect you with the property manager who can approve your access to the roof.
There's no elevator once you enter the building, so you'll have to take the stairs to the top of the roof. I stood facing west towards the Train Depot.
