In the 1967 riots, much of Detroit burned. Great sections of the city are now open space. No buildings have been built in many of the fire-ravaged areas.

Wow...with those clouds and power lines, this is a picture that exudes urban desolation. Very powerful shot, Mary!
Oh, I like this one!
Thank you Jacob and Rose for your kind comments.
I guess Detroit has never totally recovered from the riots, then? I didn't realize that.
This is very true. During the riots and fires, people who could afford to, many of them, moved out of the city proper and into the suburbs. Many of those who remained could not afford to properly rebuild.
The beautiful brick buildings tear at my heart strings, did you know that they are tearing down detroit grand central station, go take photos before they do
No, I didn't know that. I hope we can get there in time! BB's car is up on blocks int he driveway and he is lying under it trying to fix it.
I can't find your blog any more.
