Just when you think our reputation can't get any worse, The History Channel does a special on what happens to the earth when there is no more human existence and uses Detroit as an example. Not only are we known as "Beirut", or "Bombed Out", we are now a frickin' science project. Empty, abandoned buildings has been Detroit's reputation since the riots and people on this site are against demolition. Tearing down these empty warehouses and vacant buildings should be priority #1 if we want to shake our reputation. Whenever I drive on I-94 near I-75 I get depressed looking at these empty monstrosities. Imagine what people from out of town think. We have been a national disgrace for 40 years, but how dare we tear down a building that has a facade with architectural value or a factory that will never be occupied again.
