With some restoration those places would look pretty damn impressive I think.

Detroit's not really like a third world country right now. It's bad but there are places like that in every city. Foreigners like to exaggerate.

Damn. It's sad to see a city in such poor shape. From a photographer's point of view Detroit must be filled with tons of unique shots. Those pictures really are so interesting to me just because you wonder what Detroit was like in its prime. I love seeing pictures from Detroit, the ruins are just so fascinating to me.

this scared me a little bit, especially the old train station.

shit really gets run down if you let it eh? kinda depressing though a lot of those spots to offer quite a setting for a mind-numbing horror movie. kinda reminded me of i am legend

Damn, I would love to go check those places out.  Am I weird for not finding them creepy in the slightest?  I just think they look like some sick old historical spots that would be amazing to see in person.

as usual only the worst parts of Detroit are highlighted
that being said, Detroit does have a remarkable collection of classic architecture which is sadly left abandoned

That could be a big landmark with restoration. I know that the super old opera house on the CT river still runs and makes bank. Its sooo old and looks great.

Ya, it really does suck the state that the city is in. Detroit used to be the place to be. Im from Michigan and my dad grew up in Detroit and he has told me many stories of how great the city used to be. He even showed me his old house/neighborhood, which is now ( i hate to say it) overrun with black people. With all the rundowns though, Detroit still has many great places, such as Greektown, Ford Field, Comerica, Joe Louis Arena. Detroit still is a great place
