    At 1:27 is the G.A.R. Building. Quiete the plotical force in their day, they were like the American Legion or AMVETS for civil war veterans.
    The Grand Army of the Republic had over 500,000 members at one time – all northern U.S. forces who fought to save the union and ultimately free the slaves. 3 Presidents came from their ranks; Garfield, Hayes, and McKinley (Grant was not a member) anyway, this was their fine meeting place in Detroit circa – 1890

    This is really bad, it saddens me. We all knew the housing market was a bubble. You lived like a king on borrowed money, not wise but ok… Your country gotta stop printing Dollars, a huge inflation like in early Germany is really close. The Dollar as monopoly money…

    I am not wise enough but you should f.e leave Iraq, USA cannot afford 2 billion a week on that. I have many friends in the USA and I am holding my breath for them. This downward financial spiral is sth you gotta stop !

  8. smokinggun1987 Says:

    wow you really don’t know your statistics do you. Detroit is primarily African Americans and Middle Eastern. Has been since the start of de-industrialization. And the Fault goes to who for the crime and drugs in the area?? HMMM… Lets think about this before we answer with more bad grammar

  16. brown9ja Says:

  17. NJRocks281 Says:

    This is what happens when all the blacks move in and democrats take power

  18. yoyo762 Says:

    You willed it???

    If I recall, that building was a union war vets clubhouse of some kind. Very unique and beautiful. Of course all of Detroit back then was one of a kind and picturesque.

    If you’ll be back, where did you go?? To a safer community I would bet.

  19. AccuracyMarked Says:

    I’ll be back Detroit. 1:26 to 1:34 is a building I willed a long time ago.

    Part II – Cairo Il – If it was bought by the square, Affordable historic style homes built. Downtown district saved where possible, torn down and recreated where necessary. Push to bring in small industry. Bio firms are good the pay is good and they emply the right number. Make it self sustaining and the rest service – resturants, furniture, etc. Tap into tourists and festivals etc.

  21. 1967mustanggta Says:

    Okey – I ask are there any right minded historic types who have a few bucks to do the right thing with? Seriously – Detroit is an awfully big problem but check out Cairo, Illinois. The same thing happened on a smaller scale. Check it’s location – pretty neat. It has rivers, railroads and interstate. The weather is fair. Check next post called Part II

  22. 1967mustanggta Says:

    @AccuracyMarked You have the right idea. It would take an army of Right wing historic fanatics under a Historic dictator to do it. No compromises, Hard work and dedication to a historic blue print. I have been involved in this regrettibly and had to run from the faggot feel good in therory types who would not work but imagine. I couldn’t even fire my fricken crew of do nothings! Check Cairo Illinois – it could be done there.

  23. 1967mustanggta Says:

    Seriously -I can’t stop watching this video. critically the song is perfectly haunting but I would have switched out some of those pictures right after the train station interior shot and kept it breathlessly dramatic. And in the silent part gone to old post cards and shots in general.
    It’s really sad. We have to do better.

  24. bbradley280 Says:

    good point but it doesnt help when people put graffiti on and in buildings and half of them are burned down it is not ruins that one wants to see

    Lie. Unions have not had the time to destroy Asian companies,give them time.
