Thanks for posting this, LMich. I really wish I had "after" photos of some of the places listed in pictures in this article. It's pretty amazing how descimated we've let our societies become. I think I saw the Sears store once in my life, but don't really even remember on what occassion. So, for the most part, have only known that site to be weeds.

The saving grace of HP is mass transit investment bisecting the city and connecting it to other regional nodes of importance (which mass transit is intended to do). The Woodward line would service the core of HP.

Also, the enclave borders some of Detroit's nicest neighborhoods to the north and west. Even inside HP in those areas, there are well maintained streets, but they don't last very long. On the southeast side there are also some stable neighborhoods with a diverse population. The most destroyed part of the city is on the southwest and along the Davison Fwy, particularly along Hamilton and into the gulches of the freeway interchanges. Their rights of ways completely disregarded the human life that once had a reason to populate a very nice city.
