Detroit In Ruins

My friend Jairus sent this link to me today. There's a couple of really, really great photos in here.

It really tears me up that we let such a beautiful city get this way.

It kills me that all those books were just left in the pictures of the ones with the libraries..

I guess if one wanted to film a post-apocalyptic city without going digital, one needs go no further than Detroit. It is rather sad, when one thinks about it.

I haven't seen any of these photos in awhile! The photo of the inside of the Lee Plaza particularly brought me back a few years to when I was still living at home because Boshy and I used to joke about looting that piano out of it.

Urban exploration is in my top list of interests, I also fully study the buildings in Detroit, and these photos do justice. Found another site that I had never heard of last night with quite a few Detroit buildings I didn't fully know about and haven't seen the inside of, many have been fairly recently abandoned.

Constantin is a pretty good sport because when I found this page last night I put him through two hours of clicking photos of decaying buildings and commenting on any history behind them. Also found out through this site that there's no longer just one urban prairie, but three.

It's eerie to see abandoned libraries in Detroit with all the books on the shelves. Ironic, really, because you figure whoever is going in to loot scrap and valuables would have probably went farther initially if he/she would have taken the books instead .

It just saddens me that they just left all those books instead of sending them to other libraries or selling them in a giant book sale. To just leave them there to rot is horrible.
