Period Properties in Detroit.

[another_richard]

Hello All.

Did anyone catch the programme in BBC 2 called Requiem for Detroit Saturday night ?

Catch it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00rkm3y/Requiem_for_Detroit/

Or if you want to see the what is left:

A one (type of) job city.

To some it is the slow death of the city and to others it is the rebirth of another.

Where houses once stood people are now growing their own to compensate for the lack of supermarkets.

Have a look at the railway station and if that does not bring a tear to the eye...

Yes, it was a good programme all-in-all. The place really does have a post-apocalyptic feel to it!

Certainly some fine turn of the century buildings in need of tlc, but what would you be restoring them for??
