I lived in this neighborhood in 1972. There were no vacant lots anywhere. Most houses were in good shape.
It was still white.
Also, @@duckie0892 , the city has been run by Democrat administrations since about that time. At least, with earlier city administrations, there was some fidelity to enforcing that law and maintaining infrastructure without a huge waste of taxpayer dollars.
have any pix ?????
Just imagine being that one 90 year old couple bought their sears house in the early 60s probably prosperous and safe and slowly saw the neighborhood decline into ghetto, then foreclosures, then abandonded and now demolished. The only house on a street that was once lined with 50. Their back yard is a field now and so is across the street. I can't even imagine how surreal that must be.
Opposite of the movie Up. Which that would happen to my moms house in Queens. All these people do now is buy up Single family homes and than build horrible looking multi family dwellings with no element of design and with tv wire hanging all over since they made no provisions for that inside the building.
Anytime whites leave yeah
Wouldn't be a Sears house in the early 60s , those neighborhoods don't appear to be safe to me
Comon Man!
There was a street in Detroit, can’t remember which, where an old lady was the only one living on it. When she died, house was immediately ransacked. Old photos of her or her family were found on the lawn.
My Grandparents are buried in My Oliver cemetery by Detroit airport. I was born and raised on the east side, between Mack and Warren by Alter Rd. My old neighborhood is completely gone now.
I'm so sorry. All my people are there too. My parents and I moved to Texas in the early 1980s. There were no jobs, no way to get ahead in Detroit, and too much anti-white racism.
**Mt Olivet* Cemetery
My grandparents too.
@@kathy2trips It's amazing how racial politics destroys decent discourse and eventually leads to decline in the areas where it is practiced. And you are right in identifying it as anti-White racism in Detroit, where the Democrat Party and its race hustlers have reigned for many decades. It was precisely this kind of racism that drove out much of the White population from Detroit, along with much of the tax base and businesses that provide much of the support for a city like Detroit.
This makes me hope that in a parallel universe somewhere, a thriving Detroit still exists
One of the first "Detroit is abandoned" videos I have seen that didn't depress the heck out of me and instead was just interesting. Thanks.
Now imagine once upon a time, all those streets had houses lining each side and all those houses were full of people living in them. Now imagine having only two or three inhabited houses on your entire block, and you are the inhabitant of one of those houses! You and your few neighbours had better all make sure you get along with eachother because you'll be the only ones who hears when one of you screams.
Gunshots carry further. Nothing to worry about.
Just break up the city into 10 or 12 different cities. Admit it detroit is deadwood and not safe day or night.
Your video series deserves a Emmy, thanks man I grew up our their in the late 50 and 60's. We even had a state fair with battle of the bands and I got to play drums with Michael Jackson and the Jackson. So sad to go there and rember all those people who lived their entire lives out in now an abandoned dreamland. So sad. I know that all the corrupt politicians that lined their pockets with our tax dollars used it for bad cuz man just look at it now.
My unckes home had all the aluminum siding ripped off it up to like 6 feet up cuz I guess the boys that stole it was short. I never liked that uncle he fit right in there and got what he gave. Sure hope the mayor in Detroit can rob Peter to pay Paul for a makeover ciz I wouldn't take any property in all of Detroit plus one million dollars to boot. Its worse than Sodom and gamorah.
Just like in many neighborhoods in Detroit, the nature that was there some 500 years ago when the French explorer Cadillac first discovered it is starting to take back much of the vacant areas...
For the record, it was closer to 300 years ago.
Nature always conquers.
Dang time traveling is real. I get what you mean though. Natives definitely didn’t destroy the land like Europeans but the land was optimized for human habitation. Evidence is mute when everything is lost when nature takes over just like people thousands of years from now might find that some culture in the peninsula called Detroit lived there at one point.
This is where I called home--my church, my school. Heartbreaking!
I went to Holy Name also, until 1971
I'm so sorry! My old neighborhood is in rough shape too, but not like this. Tears in my soul.
The music for this is perfect! What an unfortunate decline for what used to be one of America’s industrial powerhouses
This is what happens when government meddles in industry. We used to manufacture all sorts of things in Michigan until we started relations with China in the mid-1970s. 😡Now China manufactures almost everything and we are left begging.💀
@@kathy2trips so horrible
Politicians got rich!
No reason to ever apologize for what is reality. Ever since Coleman Young, it's been headed in this direction.
"The only reason I ever became mayor was because nobody else wanted the God-damned thing."---Coleman A. Young
It's easy to blame politicians and the poor people stuck there but the truth is that economic forces beyond the control of 99% of the people living in the Rust Belt drained good paying jobs from places where they'd once been.
@@stephenbrand5661 Great! How is that the population of metro Detroit is virtually the same as it was in the 70's and yet the surrounding areas are doing fine? Wouldn't they also be in ruins if your theory was correct?
@@bobwallace9814 Michigan just lost another seat in Congress after the 2020 census and that's after losing 2 seats following the census in 2010. Ohio and western Pennsylvania and New York have all experienced the same loss of political power. If you're gonna blame politicians for the demise of the Rust Belt it would make a lot more sense to blame those members of Congress who shaped our trade policy instead of the mayors who had little control over the big picture.
@@stephenbrand5661, not what happened. Detroit got too dangerous to live in and anyone with the means left. What remained was people who are not paying much into the tax base.
Just think way back when... When these homes were new. People were so proud of their neighborhood then.🎉
So very sad, it was so beautiful when I grew up there.
I'm so sorry you've lost this. It's heartbreaking.
This was truly a disturbing video. I thank you for your effort and caring to spotlight this situation. I’m a new subscriber and also want to mention I enjoyed the background music, it fit perfectly with your video. Looking forward to more sightseeing with you 🙂 keep up the incredible work, it is truly important and necessary.
Indeed! Chris Harden, could you identify the background music?
What happened to Detroit is sad. It's grossly awful to see what happened to the neighborhoods.
3 race riots and whites fled The population went from nearly 2,000,000 to 600,000
Never know poor people could destroy a neighborhood so fast
@@duckie0892 You're looking at the wonders of capitalism, everything has to be faster and cheaper, hence the automotive decentralization, people dont wanna be at a place where there are no jobs.
Capitalism isn't the culprit,@@blazeitmichael5094 . The culprit for this decline is Socialism and the programs put into place by corrupt politicians of that stripe. These include a lax attitude towards law enforcement, as well as tax-and-spend policies and regulatory regimes that drive out productive people and businesses. People and companies "don't wanna be at a place" where there is high crime, high taxes, and poor city management.
Everyone knows what happened to it
That small church used to play cartoons for the children during the summer. It was a Catholic church and the area was predominately Polish-Catholic American until the mid 70s. Like I previously said, it was an awesome place to be a kid back in the day
I love the haunting beauty and faded grandeur of the place.
The strange mix of neighborhood fragments, nature and isolation.
Were it not full of illegal dumps, crime, arson, dead bodies and povery I could totally live in a place like that.
Good luck Detroit!
This was my neighborhood. I grew up on Almont, 2nd house from Gilbo. Fletcher Field was awesome back in the day.
In the 50's we lived in a Quonset hut project on Conner just east of Gratiot. Our mom would take us down to the airport to watch the DC 3's land. The Conner precinct police station was on the corner of Conner and Gratiot. A great place to watch the motorcycle cops going to duty on their 3 wheelers. Our street, Corbett, was the entrance to the then Hudson Motor car factory. The other big landmark near the airport was the storage tank that said "GAS IS BEST". Those are probably the first 3 words I learned to read.
Wasnt that a trailer park later on?
Parts of the land were redeveloped but a few outlines of streets are still visible in the vacant spots
My dad was a police officer at the Connor station (15th precinct). He is buried at Gethsemane cemetery directly across the street from where the station was. Parts of the cemetery are now inside the airport boundary due to runway expansion.
I like the feature showing the street name
One of the places i lived in 1961…..i was 11. It was the best neighborhood
Even if the sun was out it would still be dark
Historic once very beautiful homes. Such a shame. Too bad they can't be relocated and restored.
I agree with you 100 percent !!!!
I didnt see any homes that were historic or beautiful.
@Figi Moheder People don't just "leave to decay" a house in a decent neighborhood. They leave it when the neighborhood becomes unsafe and no sane person will buy the house from them. And, when neighborhoods become unsafe, no one will "tear down" an existing house to put up something bigger and better. The fault isn't with the homeowners; it's with corrupt and incompetent city admins who have agendas other than that of serving the city as a whole.
If one needs more current examples than Detroit, one need only look at San Francisco and New York City, both of which continue to lose population due to crime, taxes, radical politics, and the like.
It was cool to see a pheasant run across the street. Reminds me of the country
I thought so too. Makes you wonder what other wildlife is living there.
@@itsme-rt7nz --- Plenty of the 2-legged wildlife is thriving in Detroit nowadays.
Detroit was a great place to live and grow up in - before Coleman.
So very true!
His entire time in office is when the ruination of these communities were stolen and run from.
Now it's a great place to buy our drugs before we head back to the suburbs!
He single handedly ruined my city.
@Martin Gary tRump is an orange clown 🤡
Truth
The Original Gotham City Beautifully Wicked
Great sounds. Ambience! I’m from New Zealand 🇳🇿, I love the residential architecture in Detroit, especially post war to mid 60’s. The homes are well built, have a good sense of community, the wide porches, basements, 2 and three stories high, and density. Really good urban design. It’s a shame so many US cities hollowed out their cores and sprawled. Whole eras of good design thrown on the garbage piles
I think it was a series of reasons that lead to the decline of US Cities like Detroit.
While many of Detroit's homes were very well built and once beautiful, the actual design (urban planning) of the city of Detroit was atrocious, with industrial areas heming in many residential ones, ugly low rise commercial corders lacking in distinctiveness or character, and unusually poorly defined neighborhoods. Bad city design was actually a major factor that greatly contributed to unusually severe decline in Detroit.
@@jKLa Urban design is one way to put it. But it only explains one of the issues.
A major issue was the race divided between whites and blacks.
The poor economy in the 30's 70's and the lack of good paying jobs.
Finally, the city's corrupted and bureaucratic politics is what lead to Detroit's decline in resent years.
Of course there are many other things at may have killed the Detroit like the increase in poor/homeless people, crime and younger generations looking beyond city life.
@@someguy9293 Yes, I never said bad design was the only nor even the primary factor in Detroit's decline, though it was actually one major and often overlooked factor. There were certainly various factors but it wasn't merely the some of them all, but also just how they uniquely interacted in Detroit that really killed the city as a viable place.
@@jKLa now that’s really interesting- I’ve a background in planning and wasn’t aware that at the higher level there was such poor integration between zone types.
New sub here 👍 Thanks for the ride-thru. Grew up in Metro Detroit, Downriver to be specific, and have traveled these streets many times. Eerie to see them in such a state now...looking like urban farmland. But I will Always love Detroit ♥️
Been watching your videos. I admire the research you put into your projects. Keep up the good work!
I used to remember all the houses here back in the 80s.
Back when there was something to burn on "Devils Night".
So many of the house's are so large. It would be really interesting if you had pictures of the various blocks back when homes were newer , loved and taken care of I'm guessing in the 1920s . So we could see then and now. I'm sure they use to be beautiful homes back in the day.
The homes were well kept until the early to mid-1970s when the mass exodus to the suburbs began.
Well, we, lived here in this area, until the 80’s. Not a big beautiful home to be seen. Kenney Street, we walked from French Road to Van Dyke to go to school in the late 60’s-70’s. There were great big Elm trees on either side. Homes, real families lived in. This broke my heart. What a terrible mess the governing people at that time, did to this once vibrant neighborhood.
20's?? Most of these incredible homes were built later than the 20's if I'm not mistaken? I lived across the main Rd (Connor) on Sanford in the early 80's and it was relatively safe/sane then. The home was probably built late 20's and was gorgeous. The neighborhood was becoming neglected but not forlorn! I'm certain the beautiful home we lived in is lone gone by now. VERY SAD, INDEED!!
Got yourself another sub mate this has an eerie beauty to it along with the music London
Thats honestly so disturbing. Massive grid style road systems lined with old homes disapeared. It's literally going to revert back to forest. Entire subdivison of roads with nothing but forrest or field.
That doesnt disturb me.
That would be best.
The abject criminality of some humans helps put the nail in the coffin of a neighborhood like this.
BINGO !! And add to that the abject refusal of city admins (mayors, etc.) to address an ever-growing crime problem, instead blaming "racism" for the decline of that once-great city. People often try to ride out economic hard times without fleeing, but unaddressed criminality, waste of tax dollars, and poor city admin will definitely cause people to flee. And yet, the people who remain --- including the criminal elements --- continue to vote into office the very same type of people who caused or contributed to the decline in the first place.
Some years ago I was in this neighborhood, specifically Wisner between Gilbo & Castle, I stopped at a stop sign (glad I had my car doors locked!), one guy walks up to the right side of the car motioning me to unlock the door. His friend walks over to the drivers door and I crack the window open. This guy is showing me the tiniest Ziplock bag I have ever seen with a small white rock in it. He was getting beligerent, his eyes were glazed over , and he's saying, "This is just what you need!" I said, "Why, so I can end up like you?"
As luck would have it, right at that moment a Detroit Police Narcotics Unit car comes around the corner. The guy drops that little baggie in my car, he tries to run away but the second cop catches him and frisks him and finds more of these bags. They handcuff him and stick him in the back of the police car. meanwhile the other cop comes up to me and asks for ID - I give him my license and give him the little Ziplock bag and said, "By the way your friend dropped this in here."
"Are you sure that isn't yours?"
"No sir, I'm not even sure what it is."
The cop takes the rock out of the bag and licks it. "This is crack. Are you sure it isn't yours?"
"Officer, I'll agree to a drug test right now if you want, I know I'm clean. I don't know if I could say the same about the guy you just arrested.
He ran my license and found I was clean. The cop said, "The only time you see white people in this neighborhood is when they are looking to make a drug buy. You say you're on the up-and-up and I believe you. My advice is that you leave this neighborhood right now and never come back."
I said, "You don't have to tell me twice officer. Thank you for your hard work!", and I left and I never went back. That was about 1990 and there were quite a few more houses on those streets then.
It's just incredible, how all those blonde-haired, blue-eyed people of Scandinavian descent can deal drugs and lead to the decline of a once-great city --- all in spite of the honest and diligent work of well-meaning city admins.
My parents bought their house on Lyford in 1957 or 1958. We remained until 1979. We were parishioners of Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church, and my siblings and I attended Holy Name of Jesus Elementary School. Our Lyford house is long gone, but I try to focus on the many wonderful memories of growing up in that once vibrant neighborhood.
Good job Chris! Thanks.
I think this neighborhood might need some work, but isn’t it nice to not live right next door to your neighbors?
Thanks for this. I lived in the Davison neighborhood on Dwyer just north of Luce street (Six and Mound). There’s a lot of vacant lots and empty houses over there too, but not to the degree of the City Airport neighborhood.
Me to I live on Syracuse and Luce and attended transfiguration in grade school
One thing from looking at Detroit is the harsh surprises you find when looking at something else. Going off a map from a news article, i was looking for the original location of Davis High School when i noticed something else nearby on Google Satellite. It looked like an old cemetery and a quick look at the address confirmed it. Right next however, was something else. A small area that was completely wiped out. It was either a small neighborhood or a section of one that also suffered losses. If you're interested, it's bordered by Grinnell, St Cyrill, Guthrie, and Winfield. Everything within is just gone. Took a quick count of the addresses provided on the map and it came out to what used to be some 200 houses is but a mere memory.
This is very interesting. Thank you
They have thousands of people living in tents on the sidewalks of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Yet there are all these empty houses here.
Tents are hard to live in during the Winter.
This neighborhood in particular made me think that a collaboration with Dan Bell would be amazing! He likes to do most of the talking and your recorded voice over are really your think so the live audio would be terrific with his commentary over your knowledge of the locations. It would be a win win.
nostalgia tours. great video & commentary . fascinating & sad all at the same time. the music is haunting and yet so beautiful.
please name the band and album.? keep up the great work !from 7 mile & Fairfield
For this video, all I can say is that I got it somewhere off of the RUclips audio library. Can't remember what song I used for this one.
@@ChrisHarden Would appreciate hearing the source if you ever find it!
Ya earned a new subscriber here Chris. Great music in this video. What’s the name of the song and artist? It fits perfectly and is relaxing yet haunting.
Heartbreaking, just heartbreaking.
Nice video, and once again everyone has pretty decent cars.
It's detroit, what else would they have
Cars are cheap in the USA by world standards
Watching this makes me so sad. Such, I’m sure, were once lovely areas
They should knock down everything and build a farm here.
The Strange thing is Molenas St is still 80% + full and in kept up condition . But he didn't go down that street
GOOD MUSIC 👍
There is probably enough brick in abandoned buildings in Detroit to build a 4 lane hiway from coast to coast.......
Seriously! A pheasant at 4:30! LOL
I didn't see it
Another good look at failure with a little tease of hope. I do have a request, though. How difficult would it be to throw a compass at the bottom of the screen next to the street signs? The street signs are a great help. If you also show your direction of travel, it would be easier to follow your route and get a better idea about the layout of the location. Thanks Chris.
Started doing the whole compass thing about a year ago. This video was one of my first, and I didn’t put a compass on my videos for my first year of uploads… but I put a compass and a date on all of my videos that I produce now. 👍🏻👍🏻
It looks really nice. Almost like a rural setting. Id like there
(3:40) - OMG was that a wild pheasant???
Sure looked like it.
The dead reincarnated
Love your videos NT, they are so informative and well made. Truly appreciate your work and hope your YT channel gets many followers. You give us interesting info bits about each area. For me, your videos and your narration have calming effect. Great work my friend and please stay safe. Much love.
Thanks for the kind words, I’m glad that you enjoy them!
I loved living in the open space of Detroit. If it were not for the crime, my family and I would have stayed.
I remember flying out of City Airport in a private plane in the late 70's. The neighborhood wasn't terrific back then. Lot of open space here. Doesn't look like an urban setting any more.
Sure doesn’t in most parts of the city.
The airports runways aren’t in horrible condition. Surprising nice
Very little use in recent years, little more than banner tows that are run during the baseball games at Comerica Park.
😪my childhood neighborhood ...I grew up on Mt Olivet (1960 through 1983),,,I attended Holy Name of Jesus grade school from 1966 through 1973,,, broke my heart to see what has become of that area.
You were also a (young) city resident during the riot of '67!
Eerie, yet beautiful .
When neighborhoods and houses no longer support a quality of life! People move away! That's a simple fact! I love his presentation of his videos. They are very respectful!
It's not the neighborhoods and houses that failed to support a decent quality of life. It's the refusal of city admins to address things like crime that cause people to move away.
Cool 😎🔥
The senator's name was pronounced Mac Na Mare A. I grew up in this neighborhood and it was a great place to be a kid. Fletcher Field was the hub of activity and Holy Name was the anchor. We moved out in 1972 when I went to high school. It was still a vibrant neighborhood then. The shot of the empty lot shown when the camera was turned toward the airport to hear the plane, was known as the fat alley. In my day, Mr. Moser would take the classes there to play kickball. I have a lot of great memories of this neighborhood.
My grandmother's home was on Canfield near St. Elizabeth parish. Now it's the only abandoned home still standing for 3 blocks.
Nothing like good ole Detroit driving dodging potholes everywhere , I don’t care what Detroit looks like I’m from it so I love it! It will be a thriving city again! It’s well on its way, but will take many many years!
Interesting!
All my relatives are buried at Mt. Olivet, including both of my grandfathers, some aunts & uncles and a couple of boyfriends. I live in Texas now but thought of visiting. My cousin said: "Dont go by yourself and TAKE A GUN." 😳 People are exhuming their relatives and moving them to Resurrection Cemetery, where it's safer to visit them.
Wow ! That was depressing.
Detroit is an eerie adventure for me. I feel great hopelessness and helplessness looking at the video. I live in SoCal and the architecture here is so "oppressive" to me because of its size, brick and scary windows. Plus it always seems to be cloudy there. I can't help but wonder why residents of any city would set fires to its buildings and homes and then live in the middle of it for decades. Very odd. Who is the city waiting on to rescue them? Thanks for sharing and enlightening me on my journey
its a very detroit thing, going back to the 60s. the unions and government promised for 70 years to bring back jobs, so people waited and the longer they waited the more angry and hopeless they became.
waiting on the suburbs to move back i guess
You’re watching too much RUclips that only shows the bad parts.
lol do not worry any, california is rapidly becoming much worse from your liberals. soon detroit will pass that cesspool of a state you live in
A lot of the empty houses would be used by drug dealers, prostitutes or homeless. Bringing trouble to these neighborhoods. Therefore people in the neighborhood would torch them. That’s what I heard.
So many beautiful buildings completely wasted. Sad. 😢😢😢😢
Still love the D...Born there...Bless Us all. MUCH LOVE..
I grew up on ROSEMARY. OUTER DRIVE and Gratiot area. Just a few blocks from the airport. 1963-1976. Went to Goodale elementary. Sisters went to ST DAVIDS then DENBY.
During a nice summer night French Road is the hot spot for drag racing.
I would love to just drive all around Detroit on a warm spring day. I would tell the name of each street and the direction I was going out loud though. This doesn't look as bad as other neighborhoods. It's actually cool that some places are like little forests.
Your best bet is on an early Sunday morning before the skinnies are awake.
@@redriveral2764 ok what are skinnies? 😁
@@noname-by3qz Best guess I have is druggies, due to the stereotypical emaciated look they often display
Like your videos! Question, at 3;44, what was crossing the road? Looked like a pheasant? Mayne a fox?
The name of the former US senator you speak of, Patrick McNamara, is pronounced MACK Nuh maira. The Federal Building in Downtown Detroit is named after him.
I think you drove down every street except for the one I used to live on. Montliue St. Which is funny cuz it runs directly down the center. You kept driving down Gilbo and I thought you were going to do it multiple times. Cool video! 8363 Montliue if you want to look it up. 🙂
Haha dang. Maybe I’ll have it in my newer video on this area.
WOW crazy my grandmother uses to stay on kenney street 40 years ago I can remember the city airport had the air shows and go sit down on the corner of the street and watch the show or just standing in front of the house 🤦🏾 man the good ole days and what they want to do with it now it’s a bad idea but man I watch the city just go to…………….. we’ll y’all fill in the blank so so sad it is
Well it’s been two years and they haven’t done anything new with the airport… so at least there’s that.
I remember going to the air shows at city airport. This was in the 70's. It was still a good area then
I saw a pheasant run past at around 3:50 mark. awesome. I would plant fruit orchards everywhere.
Great farmland
All with some scary basements🙈☠️
Thanks for the tip on good places to dump a body.
Couldn't help but notice that street signs are strapped to power poles. Evidently, they're saving the expense of individual street sign poles.
3:42. Pheasant crosses the road!!
Fun fact: That yellow building at 2:12 has missing section to the left of the door because around 10 years ago the artist Banksy put a small stencil on that cinder block wall... and within a week someone nabbed it. I will post a link if I can find an image of it...
Let it return to a land where the deer and the antelope roam
i am happy that they are finally starting to get rid of the blight in the city like that needs to happen to cut crime down and in courage people tp move back in to buy lots and rebuild again. this city is much like a phoenix it dies but it comes back. yes it takes a long time to come back but it dose come back.
That one house across from the school OMG it looks haunted! 😱💀
Crazy to think that literally no one wanted the houses that were once in these neighborhoods even for as cheap as I'm sure they were that they had to literally tear them all down.
Building on the right at stop at about 2:20 looks like it could have been a nice restaurant at one time.
Filming these parts of Detroit always look so depressing and dreary this time of year...seems to make it worse.
My thought exactly. In summer it might look neglected but not quite so dreary.
