2 months of Challenge Detroit left, wow time truly flies!\u00a0 This should be the perfect time for a pure reflection blog entry (Nellie\u2019s dead-on suggestion). However, I am taking the \u201cif I don\u2019t acknowledge it, it isn\u2019t happening\u201d approach, and choosing to put off true reflection (hold me to this? or maybe not). Instead, I want to touch on a topic that interested me this month: the sale of the Fisher Building.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s too bad I missed on that lottery ticket, as the ornate Art Deco Fisher Building, once dubbed \u201cDetroit\u2019s Largest Art Object\u201d, recently sold in auction for 12.2 million dollars. Yes, the same small town boy who easily gets overwhelmed by NYC & Chicago\u2019s skyscrapers has developed an affinity for the largest Detroit structure north of Ford Field.<\/p>\n

Take a look at some of the immaculate Fisher Building photos (below) and tell me 12.2 isn\u2019t a steal:<\/p>\n

In fact, this is what 12.2 million has bought in other real estate deals:<\/p>\n

As pretty as these obnoxious mansions are, they really have nothing on the Fisher Building:<\/p>\n
