  • Driving tour of the Abandoned Packard Plant and neighborhood around it. We drive through parts of Poletown East, and Gratiot Town/Kettering to see how these areas are holding up after years of jobs and people moving away. Detroit was the hub of the automotive industry in the United States but as history tells it, this all started to unravel in the 1950's. Companies began moving abroad or closing down as the city's population reached it's peak. The Packard Automotive Plant is an excellent example or reference to this as it stopped production at this monstrous site in 1956 and by 1958 closed it's doors. The areas we drive through were at one time vibrant, densely populated and thriving communities. Asides from factories closing, many would argue the city's deathcross was the 1967 riots in which 43 people died, hundreds were injured, 2500 stores looted, and over 400 buildings burned. Whatever the causes are, this is the East Side of Detroit today in 2023.

    This is just part of a transition. Folks that don't live here are in better spots across Michigan. Even right outside Detroit. It may be sad to see once flourishing neighborhoods and great cities, but while this era decays, there are other areas of Michigan sprouting with new modernized and revolutionary infrastructure. Peace to all.

      @@jimdandy9671 sorry JIm . . . hopefully there will be some sort of innovation for the town and something big will come, maybe the likes of an auto-industry, but something like that happens once in a lifetime. Detroit will come back, just won't be like it was in the 40's and 50's, but not to say that it won't be a beautiful big city with it's next renaissance. It will be awesome.

      Back to what it once was. Rolling fields and hills where the possibility of future success was right there for the taking.
      And it was. For a while.
      Now deer and foxes and raccoons will run the place. And a dam sight better than those who walk upright on two feet.
      No matter the colour.
      I have stood on the Canadian side of the river separating our two countries and think.
      How differently things can go when you lust for power and money. Paper money at that.
      The Center of Military Strength in WWII. To a shit hole. In less than 100 years it will all be erased. And the books that no one reads. Burned.
      No need for that when you're about to rebuild it all as a Marxist State. The year 'ONE' is fast approaching. And you will not like it if your still alive that is. A culling of the sick herd is on the menu.
      Solent Green in effect!

      From what I have observed on the 'NET' that day has arrived and is on emergency life support right now. When the infrastructure goes ( fire police hospitals) it is finished.
      No matter 'what colour of skin a governor or mayor has. The agenda is fixed and it will only decline further. Sad to see. Sad to be alive and see what we did to our forefathers' country. By mallace.
      It doesn't take long for a city to become a 'Detroit'or any other Demon-Crat city in America.
      May God have mercy on the American People. Because Communism/Marxism/ will show none. Just a giant culling of the herd and the sound of bulldozers tearing it all down anew. The reset will be permanent this time around. The governing military will carry the day.
      It was all planned post-war in North America. Call it any kind of 'ism' you want. In the end, we lost the war.
