Inside the Ruins of the Old Belle Isle Zoo




No, we did not vandalize anything, we just looked and took pictures. This whole group of pictures is by BB.

Fascinating. I love shots of urban decay (zoological decay in this case).

I think the reason was financial, as it often is.

I apologize for being behind in commenting--hope to catch up soon!

You are right to post these images, a pity for the zoo, even if I don't like much this sort of things.

No, I don't either--looks like a concentration camp to me. EEEeek! Poor animals. But there is much of this in Detroit.

This is so sad. I was going to say someone's been monkeying around, but that really wouldn't be appropriate, would it?

So, I won't say that. Some people, of course, would applaud the demise of a zoo...

Nice photos.

It is sad all the way around. But we do have other Zoos in Detroit.
