On...Making Detroiters Cry


Slate.com put together this slideshow on the ancient ruins of a once great city...Detroit, MI

So sad. It's a little thin. I would love more, maybe a coffeetable book is in order?

Great link.

The Detroit Historical Museum had a great exhibit on the architecture of Detroit as the city was growing in the 20s. (the exhibit was over a year ago.)

the detroityes.com site has the fabulous ruins organized better than just the click through model, the map is good. If anyone was going to make a coffee table book, don't you think it should be them?

and for hope:

Consider that the Book Cadillac made it back, and there used to be pictures of it all over the urban explorer sites.
