Pieces of the Wayne Theatre that now reside in my collection. Due to a inane city government, this beautiful theater was torn down, and is to be replaced with nothing of course.
This piece was rescued soon before the ownership transfered from the non-profit that tried for years to restore the location without any budget, to the city, who happily took the deed to demolish it.

This piece was rescued from the rubble. I stopped by the first day of demolition and climbed in. It would be the only time I would see the half-demolished theater. I was in a state of shock, as I stood at the place where my life had been changed forever when I was 12, only to see the huge steel frame of the stage fallen onto the orchestra level seating. I knew I didn't want to remember this significant place in such a state. I never went by it again until she was completely gone.

Day 171/365
State Theater
Wayne, MI
* Ran over to Wayne to get a few shots of the State Theater. Last time I was in this place it was showing older movies at about $3. Looks like they have updated it and show current movies.

Once touted as the "Pride of Wayne", the demolition of the Wayne Theatre is anything but. It opened in 1927 and is now half demolished at time of writing.
No one thing I have came into contact with during my entire life has made as much of an impact on me as the Wayne Theatre has. Since the time I received my first tour of this magnificent place when I was 12, I joined volunteers attempting to restore it. Around the same time I began to notice the great movie palaces of Detroit and soon all architecture as a whole. If it weren't for the Wayne I would have never taken any interest in Detroit or photography.
I can't help but feel melancholy over the whole situation. It is almost as if this building raised me. A piece of me is missing, and it didn't have to go. To me, this serves as another reminder why the city of Wayne will never be anything but a pathetic sprawl of used car lots and parking. This structure could have been a great catalyst to a revitalized downtown. Why not take a chance on restoring this gem instead of all the failed other attempts of brick pavers, banners, and oh, that $89,000 mural...because everyone is going to say "lets put a business in Wayne because it has a mural!."
