The historical Michigan Theater has been many things, but its latest use is very unexpected: it’s a parking lot. It opened in 1926 as a movie house but by the 1970s it had become a rock venue.

But the theater’s not down for the count: it was recently purchased for an undisclosed amount, and rumors are flying about what’s next… We’ll have to wait and see.
