The Ruins of Detroit

Readers of this blog will come to learn of my hope to save the otherwise hopeless city of Detroit, where I lived part-time, briefly, about 10 years ago.  The Ruins of Detroit is a haunting photo essay by two French photographers and I recommend that you take a look.  In our modern age, we believe, at our peril, that ruins are something that only happen to ancient civilizations.

The autumn issue of City Journal has a great essay about two crusading mayors, Cory Booker and Dave Bing, fighting to save two cities, Newark and Detroit, that may not be salvageable.  Godspeed, your honors.
