It's a shame what has happened to that once great city.

Thank you for sharing this. If you look around... you will see similar photos of Chernobyl... only difference seems to be that the people were kicked out that city in Russia.

Here is an example:

Very moving photo journalism. What a shame. With care and proper maintenance, some of those would have still been grand even today. And then, not just the buildings, but all that land - realistically thousands of acres just sitting derelict. Who owns it all? Who's going to pony up to finish the demo work nature already started, in order to rebuild?

I wonder at what point will the "elite" who have run this country into the ground with hollow words and vain, empty policies of scratching each other's backs...when will they wake up and see how they have gutted our country? Ripped everything of substance out and replaced it with boards of executives and bureaucracies. How long can our nation survive going around servicing each other...and not producing anything of real, tangible substance? I say this realizing that as a doctor, I am in the service sector myself. Something sad and haunting about all this...it may be just the beginning.

I live near Detroit and it is weird seeing so many properties in such distress. Even many of the "occupied" commercial and residential properties are in need of serious repair. And the truly sad part of it all is that a good portion of the problem in Detroit is political corruption. Detroit has more local officials facing indictment or currently under Federal investigation than any other city in the nation. That includes Chicago!!!!

Detroit was one of the prettiest cities ever built. The problem was that they built these wonderful buildings in a town that was/ is about evolution. Between the corruption, Tax dollars moving away, disrespectful youth, disrespectful bums there isn’t enough good to save it. There is no longer a need for new cars they are purely a want. When you have a town no longer needed and to slow to adapt they can never make it. It the town is now depressed as a whole. It has everything you could need in one spot. That is why the rest of the world is buying it up. Within 10 years America will not own Detroit.

Be careful where you are standing in a pile of snow..

RR CROSSING in North Dakota

You can barely see the train, and you can't see the track.

This was taken at a crossing near Donnybrook, North Dakota, about 40 miles northwest of Minot on US 52.

Almost makes you want to see it in real life.....or not!
