Corktown Sucks

These images were captured on June 4th. They are from the area near Tiger Stadium.


A distant view of the stadium might lead a stranger to assume it weren't abandoned. Notice the Tiger logos blending into one another above the glass doors.


A neighborhood hardware and lumber store on Trumbull has survived over 100 years. The elaborate fencing and razor wire are more recent.


A casino expansion rises to the northeast. All 3 Detroit casinos are expanding and/or relocating into their permanent locations and adding hotels. This is the (Marian) Ilitch owned casino. After 10 years of legal gambling in the city, Detroit's unemployment and poverty rates remain near the highest among U.S. cities.

Update re: the absurd: Flick-err has twice stopped this photo of the casino's construction to be posted on here.



The pedestrian bridge from Tiger Stadium over I-75 might be the largest in Detroit.


The other side of the bridge (north of the Fisher).
