No kidding!

Had a friend who worked for an archetectual supply company by going into some REALLY bad Detroit neighborhoods to salvage things like mouldings, or stained glass windows or light fixtures, stuff like that out of abandoned houses. Some of those places had been gorgeous.

What a shame.

Yea, I can't think of a city that's fallen harder or farther than the big D.... Sadly unlike other cities destroyed by bad management, free trade and union largess, the D just has really nothing to fall back on... its really sad.

Like someone I know in Real Estate from Detroit says, in detroit we don't have houses for sale, the entire city's on the block.
