Looking at the Michigan listings this is quite amazing. The vast majority of these places are long gone. The downtown Detroit hotels are mostly still there, though they were closed for decades before recent restorations. I remember the Olds Hotel in Lansing across from the state capital. When I was a teenage newspaper reporter I covered a speech by then candidate Richard Nixon there in 1968. The building is now a State of Michigan office building.
