Woodward Avenue Presbyterian Church, built in the Gothic revival style in 1911


Are you referring to this pic Ponce? It's a church, not a court. Was the only one I saw of a flag. The other pic, I'm not sure which one you're referring to.

[chad]

you mean they use flags with yellow fringes on them in church too?

that means you are worshipping the queen of england when you go to church, not god.

Detroit: Now Experiencing Gruesome Results Of Extreme Socialism.

[SLV^GLD]

The funny part is the Lee Plaza Hotel is still open even though, as the slideshow states, "it has been derelict since the 1990's".
It's actually a great location and a great place to sight-see being right in the middle of downtown and open to the public. It is NOT, however, a great place to spend the night according to ample reviews about the internets.

The train station picture captures the immensity of the building but nothing to really highlight the amazing details worked into it's entirety.

[cedarchopper]

Those picture have the feel of Chernobyl...it's like everybody fled and left everything behind.

Indeed, CC. That was my first thought too.

[Ponce]

In what is to come the future of the world will not be on its people but on the knowlege that it's people are able to rescue and save from the past........like the movie that I saw where it was against the law to have or read books, the people themselves became the books because each one of them remembered whole books that were then remembered by a new generation and so on down the line........even now we have those from Africa, Asia and even the indians in Nomerica, Cemerica and Sumerica that passes on the histories of their people from long ago............only with books can we see the world as we want to see it and not as others want us to see it.

The Deco art in those buildings are incredible and something that we would not be able to reproduced today, not only because of the cost but also because the knowledge of the artisans is now gone.

This is what you get when the populace cares more about government handouts that enslaves them than the knowledge to free itself from bondage.
You can bet your ass this is a library in a part of town that is african in descent.
I havent seen one white race (Asian or anglo-saxon) where this library wouldnt be kept up freely by caring people.

"Imagine," Tyler said, "stalking elk past department store windows and stinking racks of beautiful rotting dresses and tuxedos on hangers; you'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life, and you'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. Jack and the beanstalk, you'll climb up through the dripping forest canopy and the air will be so clean you'll see tiny figures pounding corn and laying strips of venison to dry in the empty car pool lane of an abandoned superhighway stretching eight-lanes-wide and August-hot for a thousand miles." ~Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club, Chapter 16

Libraries will not be needed here, as the dumbed down will be content with the basic necessities required to serve their betters.

the check out guy at Safeway was telling me how during the Depression, they used pages torn from old books as toilet paper.

so that right there is a lot of toilet paper. or enough tinder to start many, many campfires.

actually, looking at some of those buildings, i can't help but think about buying them.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/gallery/2011/jan/02/photography-detroit#/?picture=370173060&index=15

can i buy Michigan Central Station ? i can see it being useful as an ice skating rink ... a horse stall ... a skate park. too small for a wave pool.

[Brent]

It is really quite simple. The people (race) of a country design its culture.

Detroit used to be an absolutely amazing city but once the Whites got chased out and were replaced with sub-human garbage it went to shit. This is no coincidence and can be seen happening in real time over in South Africa and Rhodesia (Now known as Zimbabwe).

Mexicans make Mexico, Africans make Africa, Indians make India, ect.

Most peoples failure to grasp this simple concept literally on display for all to see is a testament to the massive stupidity of the average person.

Dude, you could probably put a separate wave pool on each floor. That building is absolutely colossal. You have to have a specialty lens to get the whole building in frame and still be on the grounds. From the street to the front door is probably 150 yards if that helps you put that concept into perspective. It appears to me the picture in the slideshow was taken from a high vantage point at a distance. From what I recall, there is a MGM hotel and a stadium within about a half mile that would provide those criteria. Otherwise, he used a special rig with the right lens and controls to correct the curvature like found on an architectural camera. There is no architecture in America, or even much of the world, like that found in Detroit.

that reminds me of a touchy subject - why is the socialist state of Sweden less bankrupt than the socialist state of Detroit ?

probably has something to do with race, class, culture, income ... etc.

but it's very difficult for people to talk about in politically correct regions ... like the entire state of California.

[G2Rad]

With huge percentage of population ignorant of the truth of the Bible, there is nothing to prevent our backsliding towards likes of Africa, Russia, Cuba or China.

With so many foreign newcomers bringing in their "idols" and refusing to accept old American values, there is no way to restore America back to its civilized state.

savage era is coming.

we will be just like every other nation, living in corruption, misery and bondage. the only thing that was unique is lost and forgotten

from bondage to spiritual faith;
from spiritual faith to great courage;
from courage to liberty;
from liberty to abundance;
from abundance to complacency;
from complacency to apathy;
from apathy to dependency;
from dependency we will go back into bondage

I am looking for a home in Detroit. Maybe the inner suburbs. The outer suburbs, where I grew up are still too expensive. I just need a place to sleep when I am working around the metro area. I work in and around Detroit quite a bit. Seeing the city now is surreal. I remember going shopping downtown with my mom when I was a youngster in the early 60's. Even in the early 70's when we'd go down there to see concerts it was still decent compared to now. It looks like a war happened.

Take the book apart, soaked in water overnight, put it in a blender with some water, make two inch balls with the weot paper, placed it between to boards and make them square. put it on the sun for one hour...and yu will have toilet paper.

Or see Ponce and pay one silver round for one roll ;D
