The motto for the city of Detroit is “Speramus Meliora; Resurget Cineribus,” which in Latin means “We hope for better things; it will rise from the ashes.” Sulpician Fr. Gabriel Richard, often known as the second founder of Detroit, wrote these words as he beheld the ruins of the city after the Great Fire of 1805.
No words more perfectly embody the recent reopening and transformation of Michigan Central Station, located in the Corktown neighborhood.
