The vacant Michigan Central Station fell into disrepair and became emblematic of the Motor City’s decay. That is until 2018, when“Six years ago, we gathered here, and we dreamt of what was possible. We dared to dream that this station, which had become the symbol of a broken city, could once again shine as a symbol of the Motor City,” Bill Ford, his namesake company’s executive chairman, told the crowd before Ross, the Motown superstar, opened the festivities with “I’m Coming Out.
“For most of my life, it was just a big eyesore,” Big Sean said of the train station. “It’s an oasis in the middle of the city. It’s a metaphor for us all: It’s our time right now.” Eminem’s appearance may have been the highlight of the night for attendees, but White’s performance wasn’t far behind.
