Detroiter's once called this building the Renaissance Building. Once GM purchased it, of course, the name changed. It is now the GM Building and home to the headquarters of General Motors. I must admit many additions have taken place since GM purchased the building.

The architecture was always unique, but many restaurants and shops have opened since the purchase, which is definitely a plus. GM just celebrated their 100th year anniversary and had the place all decked out. The front entrance was adorned with memorable decor and facts about GM's history and contribution to the automotive industry. There is a pretty cool movie theater inside as well. Shhhh! It's never crowded.

Well, we all know the story about GM.  This is their premier building, and is a historical landmark.  Mammoth and incredibly important.

It is an arresting building.  It's open to the public, so I just peeked inside the entrance and was awed by the curved ceilings and majestic pillars.  You can tell that you are standing under a canopy of automotive history.

Driving downtown you can't miss it, it looks like great glass towers emerging from the pavement.

It's a building yes, and very nice shape on the skyscrape of downtown detroit. I like the inside with the different cars that GM has.
