Red Pill: Fabulous Ruins of Detroit

The former epicenter of industry in the United States, the birthplace of mass production and Motown music. Nicknamed the "Arsenal of Democracy" during WWII by Roosevelt, building bombers and tanks faster and better than Germany and Japan combined. Ironic how these former enemies are directly responsible for the current decay of this once great city.

The auto industry falls apart in this city plagued with a twenty percent unemployment. Where abandoned buildings are the norm, these once great industrial icons decay and fade into history. A bridge to the not so distant past that only our grandparents remember.

If you look hard enough, you can still find beauty just as Michael H. Hodges did, check out his article about Ugly-Beautiful Detroit Manufacturing Landmarks.

I'll be heading out to Detroit next week and plan to visit some of these sites along with other modern ruins. Check back soon.
