I like the Hotel Yorba sign on the lower right side |

Nice typical Detroit lonely street scene, ala Edward Hopper. Total lonely and apart. The bldg. looks intact to jjaba, with rear brick wall. May have been bldgs. tight to the left earlier. Could have been a corner drug store. We have plenty of them back then. Typical, the owners lived upstairs or rented it out. That way, the patients could ring the bell after hrs. and get medicines. jjaba. |

that whole area over there is depressing, one building here another 4 blocks down. My aunt lives near the Buchanan /Scotten area and she is the lone wolf on her street. It makes for good photos, but thats it. Sad... |

That photo serves as an example of what the rest of Detroit has become after so many years of neglect. The downtown may be hopping but what about outlying areas? There are tons of great, decaying architecture throughout the city. It's a shame. It is like looking at a once beatiful person that is now ravaged with cancer. |

Vizion, it is depressing yet beautiful at the same time. That area of Fort Street has seen some new factories in the last decade... |

On Saturdays I often drop off my mail at the main post office. Heading west from that point up to maybe Junction, Fort is like a ghost town. Amazing what I-75 did to the traffic flow on Fort. I've seen old pictures of Fort where every block was filled with businesses and activity(probably could say that about most of Detroit's major streets). Very nice building on Fort for the Arvin Mecator(sp?)company. Also, DPS did a nice job of refurbishing Southwestern High School's football field. However, south of Fort is another world. The fact that people still live in this area(Delray) is amazing. I couldn't take the smell coming from Zug Island. |
