1. This is sad
The photos do look post-apocalyptic. It seems strange to me that libraries and schools would be abandoned without moving the books and supplies to other locations, or selling them or something. And all the photos and files left in the police station - weird!

I can't believe the chandeliers in that art deco ballroom haven't been stolen and/or sold.

2. It's almost like looking at pictures of Pripyat in the Ukraine...
The city that was evacuated after the Chernobyl leak.

I also was stunned by these images; several from Detroit on FB shared that there is a growing resurgence, and a DUer posted this as well:
