http://www.huffingtonpost.com/randy-fox ... _ref=false poignant ''It's easy to understand why the citizens of Detroit may feel offended by the large amount of attention that is paid to their abandoned factories, stores and homes. It must seem like there are people coming from all over the globe to trade on a city's agony. But, for those of us with a fixation on documenting mid-20th century America and the Rust Belt, in particular, Detroit has so many stories, as well as the relics to still visualize and connect them, that it's a tough town to stay away from. It sits like a decaying monument to America's manufacturing prosperity and all that came from it, such as culture, community and commerce.'' |

I was talking to a bloke I met in NYC last month about Detroit and it's problems...many sad stories seem to have come out of there. Thanks for posting. |
