Good lord I need to get my butt moving and get in to work. It's going to be such a quiet day - the Friday before a long weekend in the summer!

I'm going to do some shameless self promotion here. I often post to my own "my grandma's cookbook" thread in the kitchen group but did you know I also have a blog? I...

Week of No Work

I'm waiting at a service centre right now for my car. I would love to...

I'm scared by how much I have in common with Ron Swanson, especially the Stillness and Skim milk parts. Also I only use Morton Salt.

I found these pictures a couple months ago and spend a while googling different pictures of closed buildings in Detroit. Ruins basically.

I find it fascinating. These...

Beautiful, sad, amazing photos.

We had a similar experience in my town, on a smaller scale. A lot of our great old buildings only survived the exodus from the inner city in the 60's through the 80's because nobody thought it was even worth their effort to tear them down. Now we're in the early stages of an inner city renaissance and those old buildings are a big part of it.

Hopefully many of these grand Detroit buildings can escape the wrecking ball and live again someday.
nighttone:
Amazing photos. You just found those on google? great work! Yeah, very emotional spaces. The stories those places could tell.
