Here is a thread about a House candidate filming himself at a beautiful empty strip mall in Oakland County.

Oh you mean that "Beautiful....beautiful strip mall......." -that looks like just about every other strip mall in North America?

Thanks for posting this. This is a really weird video. How can you purport that the construction and architecture of that strip mall is anything beyond functional? So weird.

Not as eerie as those Macomb shots, but check out the 'mixed use' development at Mound and 12 Mile. The strip mall side alongside Mound is doing okay, but the residential side has stalled pretty bad. There's been at least one house with stuff flapping in the breeze for probably a year or more now.
