That bar picture is strangely reminiscent of many corner bars in the Minneapolis & St. Paul area. The same pattern of brick facade, tiny windows and corner cut for the door is a very regular pattern here. Though, fortunately commercial and industrial space was well planned so that the majority of infrastructure you see is housing even if there is one dilapidated boarded up corner store. I feel for Detriot, being the spawn of the automobile industry. So much land was depleted for production use and off-shoot industries that when that era ended, almost everything was abandoned. As well, a failure of having diverse industries and slow conversion to the service sector set up a bad deal for Detroit.
Oh, my home. Detroit. Been to the bar (The 2500 Club) in the last photo many times. It's now a punk rock bar. Painted on the side of the bar, cut of on the left side of the photo, it reads "2500 Club, Sports Bar". An "X" is sprayed over "Sports" and replaced with a sprayed on "Punk", keeping its ghetto roots intact.
There's an upside to every valley (ghetto).
The Ghetto Hardheads featured in Svengalimedia's Sexiest & Hardest Ghetto Black Male Felon Bragging Rights demonstrates this.
I am extremely excited about this year's candidates. Savannah's *Slavery Avenger* Michael 'Turtle' Thorpe is featured.
He allegedly slew the privileged Jennifer Ross in the 2005 Christmas Eve pursejacking that captured the whole nation's attention. Then, it was discovered Jennifer's privilege came from her forebearers ownership of black slaves during the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade; and, that her family never paid their slavery reparations! So, it's all VERY exciting!
Anyway, the alleged Knoxville carjackers DID make the competition! The contest editor, Kirkland Perkins, waived the rapist disqualification rule invoking the Emit Till justifiable rape clause so they could participate.
Many black ghetto nigz is still on the fence on this one; but, THEY ARE COMPETING.
That little nig from Jena just made the contest; and so did the brother who popped that racially profiling cop (Timoshenko) in Brooklyn.
It's a real exciting contest, this year.
I live outside Detroit and only make into the city to watch the Tigers. I can honestly tell you that Detroit can be ugly if you wind up in the wrong spot. The majority of the homes that run along the ford freeway are burned or boarded up. Where gratiot st meets conner st, everything south until devine st is no longer even placed on a map. It is sad and unbelievable how a huge city can be just deserted. You can see for yourself on youtube by searching "a tour of detroit's ghetto"
Detroit was a city built for nearly two million people at its height. Now its lucky if it can push 920,000.
The second to last pic is the old train station, the very large building with all the windows out. It's rather beautiful if you ignore the tragic state of this city for a moment. I know kids that go there to explore say there are quite a few people squatting there. It's a shame that Kwame Kilpatrick didn't fulfil the change in Detroit that he could have. Instead he reduced public transportation, destroying hundreds of jobs and stranding others from getting to their jobs. He also thought that it was a good enough plan to just board up the graffiti and put all the homeless up in hotels (keeping them off the street) for the Superbowl. Nice plan, too bad it's not nearly the long term solution Detroit needs.
detroit is bad, let me tell yea
it has the worst ghettos out of all of them
DETROIT is where iam from and currently living and it is not the worst ghetto!! u obviously havent been to other cities like newark or queens. it is not the greatest place to live but u gotta deal with the shit.
