Just remember that if you come to Hamtramck you can leave your vest at home!!! The cops in Hamt. Don't fool around.,
Also if you want to shoot in a traditional firehouse setting I am your man. Maybe on a day when I am working you can come by for coffee and I can show what I have to offer!
Hope to see or hear from you!
P.S. Our firehouse is just under 100 years old!

I used to live on the top story of this building. I took this pic right after the hurricane:



I wish I had a pic of the rest of the shop, but this is the bottom floor one corner with the lift:



I can't find any good pics of the top floor, but had a pool table, fooseball table, Coke machine, full kitchen and bath, lots of beer signs.......it was a bachelor pad. Walk downstairs and my car is on the lift waiiting to be worked on. My parents built it about 300 ft. from their house and I moved out a few months ago. Not sure why I'd love to build a similar setup one day where the whole bottom floor is the garage. I agree....an old firehouse would be AWSOME!!

I'm young enough that barely legal is still
