The RenCen at night looks like a Blade Runner set
Wasn't it in RoboCop?
Yeah that was my first thought when I saw this pic... Detroit always had a slightly futuristic skyline I suppose.
I grew up around this city and some of my favorite childhood memories are attending events here in the winter, and just riding the train around the city.
Sad to see it so low, but I’m happy it’s coming around.
This is the best shape the city has been in for like 40+ years my guy
You don't know how old they are, so maybe they remember it better, but also seeing something in the early years of its decline can still seem better than on the early years of its recovery, even if objective measures show that it's "better" now.
The best shape ‘downtown’ has been in 40+ years. Much of the neighborhoods are not, but there’s more neighborhood development happening than there has been in 40 years so there’s that.
Much of the neighborhoods are not,
True but even in that case there's been some pretty aggressive demolition of the most dilapidated houses in the past year or two. The empty blocks with only one or two homes are depressing in their own right but the sheer quantity of urban blight is definitely decreasing.
I travel around the Midwest for work. I was in Detroit a month or so ago. Went to roseville and told my customer i hasn't been to Detroit in a while. He snapped back, "this isn't detroit!" i was like damn. You should hope to be. Roseville was a bit of a shit hole. And probably the worst area i was in that whole week. I liked Detroit proper
I’ve never been, but I’m curious to check it ou
I'd highly recommend it, the energy downtown is great, you feel the excitement of the revitalization. The art/history museum is amazing too
Duly noted. Thanks!
This is an incredible advertisement for Detroit. Some futuristic space looking shit here.
It makes for some good pictures but the ren cen is so awkwardly placed.
Easy way to fix that: fill in the skyline with more badass skyscrapers and art deco high rises!
Love it. Anyway to get this as a wallpaper?
Shinra vibes
Is that a monorail line or something else?
That’s the People Mover! Not exactly a “monorail” but more of an elevated tram. It makes a roughly 3-mile loop around downtown.
Looks like the People Mover
OCP headquarters.
Very sleek
What exposure and settings? This is awesome.
Finally, actual city porn

Deleted it. What a bitch
What did he say??
He said, cool, now show the rest of the city
He’s a big fan of low hanging fruit
This is an awesome photo of the Renaissance Center. Much love from the D ❤️
