Meh reminds me of Detroit a few years back. It's no longer the city of manufacturing.
I always hope Detroit will have a renaissance, one day. It's horrible to see, and it always seemed to me a city with a lot of character.
After looking at that casino, all I can hear now is "Money" from Dark Side of the Moon running through my head!
Hey, I've been to that Casino and lost money and got drunk. Then went to a strip club afterward and lost more money. Now that was a fun night. Was in Detroit for an Iron Maiden concert.
It only sucked away half my soul, thank you very much.

Yes, it occurs to me I've run my mouth. Just that JDR was being very critical of Detroit, and I don't like casinos, so I was like, "Yikes - I see what you mean." But perhaps that's not what he meant. For me, that sort of windowless, faux-grand architecture of casinos is just really bleak.

I want to say that concert was in 2008. My old college roommate is the president of a German steel company in Detroit. He had a luxury box at the old Palace of Auburn Hills and that's where we watched Iron Maiden.
I found some of the Detroit photos I was going on about. They're from a photography book called The Ruins of Detroit, by Yves Marchand & Romain Meffre. I think they're some of the best photos I've seen illustrating a great city faded. I reckon that book would be a goldmine for post-apoc designs.
There's a few of them, so I put in spoiler tags to avoid monstering the page.
