Does anyone know why there's a vacant strip of land, about 20 yards wide, separating the rear lanes of Lawrence and Burlingame, running for two blocks from Woodrow Wilson to Hamilton? It appears to...
Am I the only person who read the subject of this thread and got all excited about the prospect of a street-side glassblowing studio in downtown Detroit?
You might say there have been four versions of the green signs: FHWA Series C, no border, no number; FHWA Series C, no border, with number; Clearview 1-W, white border, wide-spaced; Clearview 2-W,...
The Detroit street signs of that era were lettered in FHWA Series C, the usual street/highway sign font. It's not publicly available, but there are many good approximations, including Interstate by...
I was so hoping for some baby pictures when I saw the title of this thread! :D
Several blocks along the western boundary of Highland Park are bisected by the boundary, and on each there are lots that straddle the two cities. If you look at the lots on Zillow [[zooming in to the...
Where is the online footage you referred to? Thanks for posting those pictures - they give a stunning contrast.
A quick Zillow check shows recent sales across the street and on Windemere in the $19k-$39k range, houses that look sound in Street View. There doesn't seem to be much buyer confidence in that...
Lots of bus stops, which might please Rosa Parks; her name misspelled on an abandoned state building [[at the corner of Merrick), which would not.
Someone, please, teach this writer what "per capita" means!
Flint also had the most murders per capita [[62) for cities with more than 100,000 residents.
That one has an excuse for being an urban prairie; a tornado leveled much of that neighborhood.
On a semi-related topic, how many tickets do you suppose the DPD writes for violations of this sign at the end of the block?

[[I suppose there *was* a traffic signal there...
Anyone familiar with the history of how the land around the Fellowship Chapel [[7707 W. Outer Drive) came to be almost totally vacant? The only difference between this spot and the tidy neighborhoods...
Now this is ruin porn, no question - with an expensive new muscle car thrown in for added offense to the residents.

When I saw the thread title, my first thought was, oh no, not another Onion parody...?
Detroit Kills Civic Inferiority Complex
Mayor Dave Bing confirmed today the cancelation of the long-touted...

It might be good to have a word with the folks down the block at La Dolce Vita to see how they manage the locals. They're a blatantly obvious target for crime and guard their parking lot ferociously.
This one caught my eye on Google Street View. Can owners just ask Google to fuzz out their house? Not sure what earthly purpose that would serve.

The BCT project faces some significant structural challenges, it appears: http://goo.gl/maps/xOXx :-O
Ah, Google Street View.
The building with the doorman in the ad is the Penobscot, not something on Fifth Avenue. I think I'll take a walk over to JHK's blog and smack him around some.
Want a real belly-laugh at James Howard Kunstler's expense? Listen to KunstlerCast #65 [[from 2009), where he makes a number of embarrassing errors, including mistaking the Fox Theatre for the...
Enforce the law if it supports my interests [[punishing break-ins, vagrancy, etc.).
Fight the law if it costs me money [[parking tickets).
Do I have Detroit all figured out now? ;)

For some reason, this seemed funny to me... :rolleyes:
