Detroit: Then and now

The photo on the left is at "Grandma's house," Sorrento Avenue, in Detroit. I wandered over to that location last summer and took the shot on the right pretty much from the same spot. "Grandma's house" is long gone; the neighbor's house on the right is a burned out shell. Only the house in the background is occupied today. View full size.

Wow. Thanks for sharing those shots. The comparison is quite representative of Detroit in general and very poignant.
