Modern ruins
Detroit-based blogger Sweet Juniper! has a photoset up on Flickr of the Detroit Public Schools book depository, apparently abandoned in the 1980s. The photos are at once sad, strangely beautiful, and infuriating. This is his blog post about them. I had no idea this place even existed.
The building is located near another more famous ruin, the Michigan Central Station. In a real city, this wouldn’t happen.
