A note for our American members who may not have heard of Manchester, UK Think Detroit, take out the nice bits, and make it rain all the time. According to Fox News, the Beatles are from Manchester[^]

That's as opposed to UK Tourist Boards who might not have heard of Birmingham, USA[^]. :doh:

So they just recycled an imported stock photo? :laugh:
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

I'm not sure "downhill" is sufficient to describe the decline. I think you may have just given Manchester an unfustified bad name. :) If you leave "downtown" proper, it goes bad, really bad, really fast. Have look at the abandoned buildings around here[^]. Note the collasped roofs... It's like this all up and down Gratiot, and pretty much everywhere else. StreetView doesn't do it justice. You have to experience it in person to get the full effect. The area around Gratiot and Conner[^] is the second most dangerous 'hood in the entire country. Don't look at what's directly on Gratiot or now nice the grass appears to be from up high. Look around in the subdivisions, get down to street view. A really nice example of what's happening here can be found in the trees just south of this intersection. Trees and streets, but no houses. The GoogleMaps car didn't go in there for a reason. It used to be a subdivision, but was cut off from the streets by newish businesses that were built later. Looking around you'll see empty lots covered in grass. Those used to be houses, all (eventually) demolished, but they're pretty much surrounded by more abandoned houses. For example...[^] All the grass you see around here[^] used to be filled with houses crammed together so tight there was only about 5 feet of space between them. Oh, and the school in there (top center of map) is also abandoned. And that's just a small sampling of the East side. The West side of Detroit is worse.
