I've been meaning to put out some content, and now that I not only have a new phone (and have it almost fully switched over from my old phone, that's almost worth a post in and of itself) but a new tablet, I'm looking forward to it.
So, today, I'd like to share some pictures I've taken.
As a truck driver, I've been through some interesting areas of the Metro-Detroit Area.
And as you'll see, some areas of Detroit really are quite literally something out of a modern day dystopian setting.
Some people may ask "why is Detroit like that?" or "how did it get that way?". Unfortunately not exactly an easy question to answer. What is obvious though, is some areas are in a complete state of disrepair and neglect.
Many houses are either abandoned, dilapidated, or burnt down.
Devil's Night in Detroit is a popular time to set houses on fire.
So much so, that the DFD even sells Devil's Night graphic t-shirts.
On a postive note however, in several areas, I have noticed community gardens springing up, which is quite encouraging.
Also trees being planted in a few vacant lots as well.
So it's not 100% doom and gloom for Detroit.
