The zoo is there, as well as the Gold Coast railroad museum. However, does the blimp base remains still exist, is the UM south campus still there? I have been tempted to go out there and explore the place, is anyone familiar with this historic property?

I live like 5 minutes away and I've always seen a building with an antenna that I've been told was for blimp base around WWII,as far as the UM south campus,I've never seen a campus or students going in and out of there,but I've heard they own the property as a couple of years ago there was a story that they were working to create some sort of academic village with homes.There's also the future amusement park,hotel and waterpark that was approved what seems like almost a decade ago but no works has started.I e-mailed the zoo a while ago and they said they were trying to find what waterpark company would be interested in the project as the waterpark is supposed to come first.Here's a link to the UM story.

UM, county eye school, homes near Metrozoo
