Amazing to look at photo 3. Houses that wouldn't look out of place in Rosedale completely destroyed. How this doesn't shame America baffles me.

For those who don't know, Packard is about 3.5 million square feet in size, and about a kilometre long. In complete ruin.

Why do you think it doesn't?

Fascinating. I think Baghdad is a sexier city than Detroit these days...

Really amazing photos. I don't think I've ever seen such urban dacay!! Some of those houses really are huge and absolutely stunning, and also completely destroyed! They should arrange daily tours from Windsor!=P
