You might have heard that Detroit has chosen to file for bankruptcy - the largest US municipality in history to do so. Whatever your take on the reasons why (and there are many) to solutions (not so many of those) and what turning point the city will go down, the sun is still shining on the city. We popped down yesterday for my first trip to the DIA (who's collection is up in the air - more of that and trip there to come in following weeks) and I managed to snap some photos of Detroit, predominately Midtown along Woodward. No doubt the news reports you read or saw about the bankruptcy were accompanied by ruin porn photographs, burnt our, chopped up, falling down building - but those images have no place on my blog, I'm not one to prompt that image of the city.
So here's some alternate images, Detroit is still alive, it's still open, it's still sunny.
