great pics though.

“A city run into the ground by the Democrat’s “vision”.” sums it up nicely.

I think it’s sad what happened to Detroit and it’s citizens…

Back in the summer of 2002 I had an internship and lived there for a few months. Talk about a car scene! I lived a few blocks from Woodward Ave. and every night there were tons of cars out cruising…was unbelievable how into cars they are.

LOL…this looks like a Salvador Dali painting come to life:

I have to say though, some of that furniture in those abandoned buildings is probably worth a fortune restored.

Yeah this, should be torn down before it falls down…or I guess once it falls down it will be easier to just truck away.

Wonder if that’s real gold. The stone/plaster work is amazing.

I was there in January and it was disgusting. On the drive in all you could smell was methane and the skyline was ridden with stacks spewing fire. it was a scene straight out of some dystopian movie. The auto show was friggin sweet though lol

But still people vote for democrats. Then their state gets run into the ground. They move to republican states, but they bring their disease with them. They keep voting for democrats!!!

I always get a surreal feeling looking at that stuff. I have been in a few places like that and it is amazing how some of them are eerily quiet.

Thanks for sharing.

You mean Detroit’s People Mugger.

Lived there for a year, even though Buffalo isn’t any beauty queen, it was the best decision I made to leave Detroit.
