When I went to Chichan Itza and the Parthenon I wondered how they became abandoned ruins. DetroitYES - The Fabulous Ruins of Detroit Forum gives us a living diary of that decay in progress. Detroit should be made into an Industrial Landmark; an American ruin. Too bad the city planners think that only through imploding and destroying their past they can create a brighter future. Everyday another beautiful but abandoned building falls to the wreaking ball. Take a look at Detroit before it no longer exists. It is a great lesson for us all.
