Having spent the weekend in downtown Detroit, staying at a hotel on Jefferson, and spending time on Belle Isle, it was pretty amazing to be in the middle of the area that this video series documents. All around me, I found myself noticing the exact buildings and streets that were highlighted in the videos. At times, I was picturing what life looked like back in the glory days more so than what it is today. As I was taking in the sights of the city, reality hit me and I found myself surrounded by abandoned buildings, empty lots with overgrown weeds, and homeless people walking the streets.
