I reviewed that slide show and I gotta say, it’s enough to make a grown man cry.

Try this one - Forgotten Detroit. Also sad.
I went to UM A2 from ‘71-’75 and used to go to Cobo and other places for rock concerts. A lot of the white Detroit kids I knew actually had moved to the suburbs after the riots and From what I could see, even back then, Detroit seemed to be going downhill fast.
It is sad to think of the wonderful architechture and the jobs that have just dissappeared.
