Posted August 1, 200915 yr West Village is a historic district located on Detroit's near east side. It was named because it is west of Indian Village (one of Detroit's must see neighborhoods, imo).
August 1, 200915 yr Nice. Lots of housing with good bones. That house with the ivy...wow. they've got an invent on their hands.
August 3, 200915 yr Nice looking neighborhood, but suffers from a little bit from that Detroit neglect.
August 3, 200915 yr Just came back from three days in Detroit. I don't remember seeing this on the trip, but it looks relatively stable.
August 3, 200915 yr Residential is looking like it's mostly in good shape and of very good quality, but then you have a perfectly good block of brick commercial buildings full of...boards. Oh well, what can you say? I guess they prefer to put their money into sprawling generic suburbs. How people don't see what they could have here if they wanted it is beyond me.
August 3, 200915 yr Well done Zach! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
August 7, 200915 yr ^For real. I love the architectural variety. Painful to see it in such decay. Thanks for posting those.
August 8, 200915 yr What is going on with Detroit!?! EVERY photo thread I see has beautiful buildings, great vistas, stately trees, cozy side streets, and an insane amount of BLIGHT!!! I don't understand why or how America can throw such an amazing city into the garbage. Please keep the threads coming, Zach. They are inspiring.
August 8, 200915 yr Nice pictures, looks like it was a decent place. I don't understand why or how America can throw such an amazing city into the garbage. This is what happens to any city when their economy implodes. It is a damn shame, Detroit should be one of our nation's jewels, up there with NY and Chicago....
August 12, 200915 yr What is going on with Detroit!?! EVERY photo thread I see has beautiful buildings, great vistas, stately trees, cozy side streets, and an insane amount of BLIGHT!!! I don't understand why or how America can throw such an amazing city into the garbage. Please keep the threads coming, Zach. They are inspiring. Most of us here in Michigan just accept it. When the economy tanks and neighborhood crime escalates, people leave. Whatever direction Detroit's economy steers toward will decide whether the buildings above will be saved or demolished.
