It would be quite interesting to do a tour of the abandoned factories etc in Detroit before nature reclaims them. You'd probably need to be part of an armoured column though.

Sort of the same, but Detroit, the city, was built around the car industry, and when that industry collapsed, there was nothing else to take its place. There was no other industry that could just slide in and keep the city afloat. When the automotive industry collapsed, so Detroit went with it, as most of the businesses within the city fed the automotive industry, either directly or indirectly. So as the automotive industry collapsed, the jobs disappeared, and the people left, so the money dried up, the schools closed, supermarkets closed, churches closed, buildings and houses were left empty. The term 'one trick pony' sums it up perfectly.Originally Posted by Frosty5
Someone on the documentary described Detroits downfall as being like a "slow motion Hurricane Katrina". Mass destruction, lives lost, but over several decades rather than one quick hit.
