DETROIT
Windows Live Local only had suburban Detroit coverage starting roughly at Novi and Farmington Hills and going southward, so all of these pictures are of Detroit's western suburbs.
Dunno what this was, but it looked pretty cool so I included it.
Looks pretty nice for a trailer park,
Older sprawl.
Nice new townhouses.
There's a lot of lakes and ponds here (as in photos above, too). In a way it's almost like Florida.
Big factory.
The requisite business/industrial park. Part of the sprawl.
Some non-sprawl, for comparison.
Semi-rural sprawl. There's no clear line between the suburbs and the rural areas around here. They just *very* gradually faded into one another.
Newer houses around Detroit seem to like these really peaky roofs.
More lakes and wetlands.
And still more lakes. Actually these look like very large detention ponds.
Sprawl? Or rural?
Semi-sprawl.
Fore!
Some older not-very-sprawly development with some new infill being built.
If Detroit had a Levittown, this is what it would look like.
The future is now!
Another non-sprawl shot to break the monotony.
And yet another not-really-sprawl pic just for the heck of it.
Actually the streetside commercial area in this pic and one of the ones above is fairly auto-oriented, when you get down to it. Though I'm sure it wasn't originally that way.
This one should get an award.
Office park.
More peaky roofs on McMansions.
