Posted March 23, 201114 yr Though I rarely post them my pictures, I am "urban exploring" in Detroit once or twice a week. By far, my favorite thing is to go up to the roofs. Here I am on top of a building in Southwest Detroit.
March 24, 201114 yr Nice shots. I love how the Detroit River is always so blue. The Ohio River is blue for about 2 months a yr, and the rest of the time its an ugly brown.
March 24, 201114 yr That's from the old Boblo Terminal, correct? "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
March 24, 201114 yr Thanks for sharing. As blighted as Detroit is, I love visiting that city. Just riding through the abandoned areas of the city and witnessing the history of the city gives me a feeling that is exclusive to Detroit. I have an older relative who was an auto worker there who tells me stories about how Detroit was the place to be; how crowded, vibrant, and essential it was to America. I have family members who migrated to Detroit from the south, got jobs in the auto factories and died happy middle class citizens in Detroit . It's sad that just 60 'short' years ago, Detroit was a bustling city that people flocked to with a population of close to 2 million residents. Now whatever is still standing of Detroit is all but a crumbling and/or burnt out shell of what it used to be.
