Mom just sold our home on the East Side of Detroit. My parents should have moved thirty years ago, but loved the house. Went for $26K. If house was in Grosse Pointe it would have gotten over $90K, even in this depressed environment.

We tried to sell our home in Michigan two years ago. At the time it was worth over $150,000. Now it’s about $50,000.

De La Salle ‘72 !!

Grandparent’s houses are empty lots.
My wife’s parent’s house burnt out hulk.

What’s really sad is the days of walking anywhere and having fun are long gone. The resident insurgents killed Detroit with the ‘67 riots.
