Take a virtual tour (which is close enough for me, thank you very much). Amazing to see city blocks with a few row houses still standing next to one another and the rest gone.

It’s amazing how many burned out buildings are within just that small area of Detroit.

There are areas of Baghdad that look better.

Are you sure that was not a link to Hiroshima 1948?

Thanks, I suppose. I left Detroit for good in 1970. The home in which I spent my first fifteen years is gone. The Catholic school I attended is a burned out brick shell.

More people need to know the story of Detroit. We tend to think that civilization will always move forward. Detroit is late proof that civilization can shift gears and move backward.
