I’ve spent the past few weeks since moving to the Detroit area panning thru the city of Detroit using the satellite imagery from google maps. It’s a great time, and it’s been quite an adventure & learning experience about the history of the city, as well as the plight and economic disparity still existing today. Check out this snipit of the North Gratiot area near Van Dyke. North of Gratiot is the Great Detroit Prairie; a vast wasteland of tall grass & abandoned ruins of homes crossed by streets which used to comprise a bustling Slovak neighborhood at the turn of the century. South of Gratiot; a nice gated community of nice homes.
Hello to our Slovak friends!
