Detroit Ruins

Beautiful buildings in ruin.... Today's theme for me.

[Brenda Starrr]

Love it.

[AstralCrux]

Pretty and sad all at the same time...

[Brenda Starrr]

It really is. When I was in Detroit, I didn't get to see to much of it. What I did see, I loved.

That makes me so very sad. Watching a city lie in ruin and knowing it DOESNT have to be that way.... =(

I like the ruins, I just wish they were fixed up.

The ramada needs to be condemned.

There was a site with pictures of the ramada in it, of areas that are "off limits".

EDIT: HEY I FOUND IT!

That was fun! Thanks ScaryGuy.

It's not fun, it's sad the state of ruin that place, and the rest of Detroit is in.

That's some cool stuff. thx for sharing it!

It's beautiful really..... I want to see about using one of the old factories for runway locations.

That's my biggest hobby is those buildings. I study all of them and know almost all of them and their histories, at least the major ones down there. It's depressing because I've seen so many of my favorites get torn down, especially since we have a retard like Kwame in office who has more appreciation for stuff like Super Bowl than our own history. I'm so obsessed with them, and I don't think they should all be fixed up, I just don't want them fully torn down either. I know that sounds really weird, but I think they're prettier the way they are now, it's what makes Detroit what it is. If you want nice buildings, move some place nice, it's that simple.

I clicked on the link to see the Ramada, and I got nothing. Do you have a better link?

Yeah the link is now dead it seems and archive.org didn't save any of it unfortunately. But I thought there was other useful info so I gave it a push. Who knows maybe they'll bring the server back up eventually too.

That would be cool. I'd love to see. I just don't want to actually go in to do it.

Well there are plenty of pictures in the user galleries. Then there is lelandcityclub.net and labyrinthdetroit.net with some photos. I have archived a ton from the old websites too.

But those don't show what these pictures have shown. Parts of it look completely wrecked and if I ever make it back and can gain access to those areas I'll have a flashlight/camera on me. http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories....&filter=all (posts about previous expeditions).
