Slide Back Into The Past - a photo on Flickriver

I used a texture from kittykat fish ( Thanks again! It's here at www.flickr.com/photos/kittykatfish/3260972239/in/set-7215... ) to make this one appear as an aged slide. I used photoshop elements for the blue sky and changed the front and far right portion of the building to B&W, among other modifications ( sharpness, contrast, etc )

There has been a stadium at this location in Detroit since 1895. Tiger Stadium was built in 1911 ( completed in 1912 ) and opened the same week as Fenway Park in Boston. The Detroit Tigers played here until the year 2000. The Detroit Lions also played here from 1938 through 1974. It has sat abandoned from 2000 until 2 months ago when it was demolished. They were a few movies shot here after it closed, including 61 starring Billy Crystal, where this stadium gave it's finest movie role, portraying the legendary Yankee Stadium.
