In the 19th Century, Detroit was known as the City of Trees. It appears that much of the city lived up to that name well into the 1940s: http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/3/2...33090737_o.jpg

I know trees ain't cheap and take a while to grow, but just think how much better Detroit would look if we had those vistas instead of the barren, weed-choked overgrown lots that litter the city today. Shots like this make me an even bigger proponent of Greening of Detroit.
