Detroit, Michigan

As most of you know, I live about 30 minutes from Detroit. Downtown Detroit is beautiful. There is no trash, nice fountains, and nice people. you can walk around the city and always find great places to go. Downtown Detroit is very nice, but unfortunately that is where nice ends in Detroit.
If you dropped someone off in downtown Detroit who has never been there, they wouldn't know how bad it gets after downtown.

As most of you know, and commonly joke about, Detroit is mostly a big shit hole. But if you have never seen it in person, you don't know how bad it really is. I had to drive through northeast Detroit on my way to Gross Point and it is a very sad sight, even from the highway. It completely ruined my day. I would love to go and take pictures myself, but the only concern I have is the obvious security issue. Unless I have a gun, I'm not walking around Detroit's east side. So I settled for some pictures from google.

It is quite sad seeing all of the abandoned buildings and factories that at one point, looked fine and had a ton of workers in them.


A lot of the areas in Detroit look like they would belong in Pripyat.


My grandpa grew up in Detroit and he always talks about how nice it used to be. It is just sad to think about how far the city fell and how bad it actually is now. Just seeing the buildings is enough for you to feel uncomfortable. I don't know why I posted this, I just felt like I should.
