Former student rental on South Division demolished by U-M

The jagged edge that once characterized U of M's intertwined and sometimes confusing connectivity with private buildings and residences has become much more refined. One thing is clear....Central campus is out of empty space.

Not finished yet, but it will fit in quite nicely when completed.

I like how the backside of it is ugly in an urban sort of way.

Here's an article about vacant property in Ann Arbor.

Now, these houses just didn't become abandoned. Rather the vacant properties are victims of failed development. There was a multi-story building proposed where these vacant houses stand and I recall them occupied before this development happened.

The project received alot of criticism from area residents.


I think there is possibly another side of the story

Don't forget the Greek Orthodox Church ruins!
