Detroit is lucky that so many buildings from this era were simply abandoned so many years ago and that they still exist and are ready for renovation and re-use. In most other industrial cities buildings like this were demolished for the next generation of commercial buildings but Detroit's penchant for simply closing the doors and moving onward and outward has now proven to be a value to us as we re-discover the best of the old and make it new again. We need to stop looking at these abandoned buildings as a negative and see the positive side and the potential.
