« Dracula Twins: cute Gothic game | Main | The greatest image of the fearsome internet this century »
This blog post and this Flickr set document and reflect on a wasted Detroit building. The images are published with a note prohibiting unauthorized use, so I won't copy one here, but instead urge you to look and read. Excellent meditation on a longstanding American tragedy.
Previous Detroit Gothic here at Infocult: eBaying a mummy, Detroit imitates Fargo, Detroit as urban wonder, modeling the grim city.

Wow, this really brings back a lot for me. I was recently widowed (Feb 17 last year) and prior to that did a lot of UrbEx. I haven't been out to a location in a couple of years...this makes me want to go and explore.
I still have my gear and my shoes. Who knows?...

Actually, if you try to copy it, you'll notice that you can't, really. Not sure how Flickr does it (it's via Javascript), but they mask the URL of the image. You can't link to it, you can't download it. You would have to use a screen capture program to grab it.
