What a cool story this is! While renovating the Detroit Central Station, workers found some very old and interesting things...

The workers who are renovating the Central Station for Ford found a few things in the walls last month including a message in a bottle.

A Stroh's bottle from 1913 was found in the wall near the main lobby of the station.

Lukas Nielsen was removing an unstable wall with Leo Kimble on May 4 when he saw the bottle and told crews to stop because he thought it may be important.

The piece of paper was removed, revealing a letter dated July 1913, about half a year before Michigan Central Station would open.

Dan Hogan and Geo Smith stuck this [illegible] of Chicago," the note reads.

There were some other items found as well including a couple of pairs of shoes and some overalls. Here is the report

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
