Some of those pictures are pretty sad. Those buildings would have looked great in their glory. The Highland Park Police Station is very intriguing though. It's as if they just left and forgot to take their stuff with them.

This has been the most depressing week for the American automotive history.

Well. Yes. But as of this week, the chance of Detroit's revival seems impossible.
|
These are just so sad to see. What's the story on the police station that still has writing on a white board?
I also miss the old Willy's plant, even if that wasn't in Detroit. and I take it you had to have a connection or two to get into some of these places. |
^I did a quick Google search. The whiteboard relates to the investigation of a string of rape/murders of prostitutes by Benjamin Thomas Atkins. He killed 11 prostitutes.

Beautiful yet sad pics.
And yes about the RE comment, those places look like the perfect setting for 28 days later. Which only reinforces my belief that americans should keep on moving towards the entertainment industry. |
That's pretty unbelievable, I am guessing organizations like the UAW are intricately linked to these outcomes?
|
amazing places they make for great motives!
also someone should lern2hold his camera straight... |
really amazing.
leaving the sad aspects for the city beside, these buildings offer a very impressive scenery. over here in Germany you only find st like this very rarely. Is it legal to enter these buildings for taking some privat shots or are there people whith an eye on that? Since there is so much stuff left in some buildings, not many people seem to be interested in them?! |
How do you go from zero to glory and back to zero inside 100 years, just how disposable can a culture be?

Once the highways were created; the great White Flight happened which created a massive urban sprawl. People crave land, and land is what they got by leaving the city. Over a period of 5 years, the city's population dropped from 2.2 million (in the city limits) to 1 million without the state losing people. These days, we are losing people by the tens of thousands each month. The expertise found here is both aging, dwindling, and departing our universities in unbelievable numbers. As a state, we are looking at over 20% unemployment right now. There is a lot of rich heritage here; but its almost forgotten. |
^^ Jesus christ, that's terrible.
