Just had a look on Google Maps satellite and street view in an area near the Motorcity Casino and - wow. There's a lot of nothing there.
Where did the grassy vacant lots come from? Did someone (the city?) bulldoze abandoned buildings? All of the grass is neatly trimmed. Is that the city too? Or does the casino keep their immediate neighbourhood looking neat?
Very odd indeed.
- Jupe 13y agoYes, the city bulldozed these buildings: they were home to gangs and crack addicts and were targets for arson.
