Ahhh Haa Haa Ha!!! Take a look at the "Property at a Glance" pdf link: http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/housing/mfh/pd/lafa
and look at their estimated income and expenses. ...

Some of my greatest memories are of my dad taking my two older brothers and I to DD in the mid to late 1960's. From getting the hair burned off of our arms and legs from the gasoline burnouts...

Ah yes, the internet. Home of people who can easily chide someone anonymously rather than offer something constructive.

Hmm, lets try it.

mtburb, thanks for taking the time and effort to...

Just a reminder to everyone - all of these photos [[and tens of thousands more) are available for free from the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs online collection. That's where Shorpy got...

Beautiful video, Brazzman! It definitely shows the heart of the D and is a welcome respite from the sea of RP we're all drowning in...

I'm curious - just how are potential "renters" screened for acceptance into the program and what would constitute a "lease"? I truly wish the best for this project but human nature [[with a few...

Oh yes...we knew it all along:

John, at this point in the discussion I think more than a few of us are wondering what in the %$# are you doing still coming here and dutifully responding to most of the posters here? Is this part of...

In the wise words of detrioturbex, " Just walk away" John. If you can't see the growing firestorm on the horizon, you had better wake up. This is not the kind of google hits you need and I really...

Yeah, I don't like the term "Ruin Porn" either! I think MSUguy is onto something - he calls it "Ruins Porn".

I'll see that bid and raise it.

From now on, I am referring to anything abandoned...

I'm sure all of the residents of Gary, Indiana woke up feeling WAY better knowing that they are no longer living in a miserable city...

I had no heads up about this commercial airing and after it did, my wife and I sat in stunned silence and looked at each other with some pretty moist eyes. Then she said, "play that again." With the...

Heh, heh... wait until the scrappers realize that PV panels have copper indium selenide in them.

Sorry Planner, but you did shoot yourself in the foot by saying "The arsonists are doing us a favor."

Even if you believe the "ends justify the means" shtick, the act of arson goes WAY beyond an...

Fnemecek, I was thinking the same thing. Nothing in Detroit moves that fast without special "intervention". It reminds me of the Meigs Field debacle in Chicago.

And once again, "A cloud of dust...

Yes, I agree that a landmark building being torn down is ..... SQUIRREL!...a tragic incident for this city.

Yeesh... thread hijack anyone?!

Hey, I'm with you on that. I just don't want to see your head explode, ala "Scanners" style, lol.

Don't hold back LD, how do you really feel?

Oh no, no, no!!!! Not the University Club! Criminy, just go ahead and flatten Brodhead while you're at it - 2 for 1. Detroitfunk has a couple of wonderful photoessays on both of these beauties. I...

Sad, but you may have some truth in that statement, Detroitnerd. I remember a certain psychological / geographical separation between the two cities even back then. It was kind of a "Western...

After moving from Novi when I was a kid, I lived in GR from 1971 to 1986. GR does have a strong Dutch Christian Reformed presence but you learn to live [[and profit) from it like any other faction you...

1. 1970 Dodge Challenger - Plum Crazy
2. 1959 Cadillac Seville - Black
3. 1959 Nash Metropolitan - Turquoise/White

All classics for different reasons.

As an ex-pat living north of Seattle for the last 24 years, can I offer you this insight, T? Portland [[and Oregon in general) has it's share of woes. My wife and I spent a week in downtown Portland...

Yes, but has anyone ever seen both Trotsky, Lenin AND Booth in the same photo together?
Bet not!

In the one photo, on the left side of the building, the top cornice section is separating and getting ready to spill a couple of hundred pounds of prime terracotta on someone or something!

Stay...
