  1. It'll take years and many billions to bring back the once mighty auto industry to make Detroit great again, however I think the damage has been done and it'll never be it once was back over a half century ago.

  2. Such bad roads will greatly mess up the shocks, struts, suspensions and tires ending up in costly repairs of your car.

  3.  @CharlieBo313  I seen many of your vids and practically been all over the country. Ever think of going to Alaska sometime to either Fairbanks or Anchorage?

  4.  @adventures223  Only one road leads to Barrow and it's completely unpaved and treacherous. It's impassable during thaws and during the height of winter. Don't think Charlie would be going there at any time.

  5.  @adventures223  I was in Alaska back in 1992 and one time in Fairbanks. From there to Barrow is only one road that goes there. Remember that it runs through the arctic tundra where permanent frost in the ground is. It is about 500 miles long.

  6.  @adventures223  It was mid-late June when I was up there. One thing that was hard to get used to were the endless daylight. It never got dark. Darkest it got is what it looks like few minutes before or after sundown. We saw the sun setting at Midnight and rising at 2am.

  7.  @adventures223  Never seen the northern lights while being in Alaska because of the endless light, however did see them when driving through Canada back to the Lower-48 in Alberta when we were far enough south to get dark for several hours.

  8. With plenty of haunting looking homes and dead trees make it ideal for zombies.

  9. Corrupt politics, foreign competition, greed and stupidity.

  10. 9:40 Looks so much like Chicago's North Shore along the lake front.

  11.  Imperial0666  At least they're still remaining in the U.S. when going to other states such as the southern states which has created more jobs and good paying ones that has created now boom towns.

  12. Off roads here in Florida are more sandy than grave.

  13. 60% of Detroit's population left leaving all those homes once occupied all empty.

  14. And so is greed and stupidity. That all began to come in the 1960's there that started its downfall as a auto industrial might.

  15. That's why 1,300,000 have left since the 1960's. When the factory jobs left, so did the people.

  16. 0:22 even this had a huge impact on the trees, dead trees, they're everywhere.

  17. This is what happens when the entire auto industry goes bust which was the city's backbone.

  18.  Leonard Carr  That decline began in the late '60s when foreign competition came. The Great Recession of the late '00s seem to have been the nail in the coffin for the auto industry.

  19. Homes rotting and falling apart and with dead trees everywhere makes it look like a Halloween scene.

  20.  Imperial0666  I seen some vids of Gary and looks even of how bad both cities are. This is what happens when foreign competition, political corruption, greed and outsourcing comes into play.

  21. Appears that Detroit has some much debt the roads cannot be repaired.

  22. It's worst than Chicago. Detroit was once a mighty auto industrial powerhouse. And after the auto industry went bust, this is what has happened. Detroit's population was once 1,700,000 when the auto industry was at it's prime before the decline and going bust. Now it's only 700,000, a staggering 1,000,000 (59%) drop. That is why so many homes and businesses are abandoned.

  23. Great to have internet and YouTube to upload these to show everyone to with their own eyes and not having to go to these places in person like we had to do long ago.

  24. All cities in the 'Rust Belt' from New Jersey to Chicago/Milwaukee have many communities become like this, once nice places becoming ghettos.
