Detroit: Some Pictures and A Song

This site has some excellent pictures of what it openly calls “The Ruins of Detroit”, if you’re interested.

The "Seven Sisters" Detonation

Also, when the city or its inept handlers are pissing me off, I sing this little song, which I’m sure you know the tune of.  I ought to record it, as I’ve gotten the dripping-alto-snark of it down to an art-form, I think.  ;)

“The Detroit Is Pissing Me Off Song”:

This land is your land
This land is my land
Except for Ford Field
And Garbage Island*
Except the Ren-Cen
Is owned by GM
But this land was made for you and me!

*There is an island in the Detroit River that’s just a giant garbage dump, (sometimes hilariously mistaken for Grosse Ile, which is an island full of rich people-HA!) but I’ll be darned if I can find a link to anything about it.  Maybe it’s not that special.  If such things interest you, though, check out Zug Island, which is also quite satisfyingly dirty and evil.  ;)
