However, by showing the unseemly and unattractive side of America, Charliebo 313 is persona non-grata. Poverty, urban blight, and things of this nature are taboo subjects and unwelcome by Western audiences. America has to always be portrayed as the land of youth, vigor, expansionist economic development , endless achievement and wonderment. Urban decay is a problem that has existed throughout the history of mankind and it is irremediable, however, I like to see the places that are unseen nonetheless. This also demonstrates the power of the internet, people can see the blemishes of a society. I find balance in watching these videos. You realize that life is a constant cycle of destruction and renewal, and you get to see this. America though, is a country that can never grow up, it's always eternally youthful and vigorous and not subject to the ravages of time. Little homage is paid to history in this country, only the present and future are what matter. And , IMHO, a lot of foreigners immigrate here because they are attracted to the utopic illusion of eternal youthfulness and vigor that this country readily provides. And utopia is always just around the corner. For other nations, utopia is a blessed past never to be recovered; for Americans it is just beyond the horizon. Henry A. Kissinger

When you turned onto Hazelridge from Chalmers, the 2nd house past the blue & white house was my parents house. We moved there in 1973. My dad sold the house in 2006. 3 months after he moved someone stole the awning for scrap. It used to be a great neighborhood.

The sad thing is that these rotted houses were once beautiful, solid homes...

Detroit is very flat. The few Hills in Detroit Proper are artificial, made from rubble gathered when excavating for construction. I lived a mile from Balduck Hill. It was only about 40' high when I was young (early seventies) and has subsided to about 25' (8m). What is true about Detroit is that there is a real gradual grade over the whole city. The northwest city proper is more than 100' (30m) above the Detroit River. An arc of higher terrain runs from the Irish Hills in Lenawee County (70 miles/115km southwest of Detroit) northward, veering east into Livingston and Oakland Counties thence eastward to a point just west of Romeo in Macomb County, all land east of there being flat. In the days before the mass-proliferation of powerful, inexpensive orange sodium lamps, People would go to Stony Creek Metropark, 26mi (40km) north of Downtown Detroit, to see the fireworks display in July, through binoculars.

Great job in this vid CharlieBo. Good to hear you talking about what you know around there. Here it is 2 years later, and things aren't much better. I miss those nice neighborhoods and have no idea how to get them back.

CharlieBo313: Tell people to shut off the sound on their computer if they don't want to hear the commentary. By you giving the commentary, it takes away a lot of the depression away from all the devastation you drive through. Another thing is, I feel these video's should have a larger venue than the internet. What I'm thinking about is what I think is a Black Museum somewhere near the Art Institute on Woodward not too far from Downtown. I've never been there, but I've known about it from TV, so I may not know for sure where it is located. I feel what you do to document neighborhoods these days in Detroit is a part of it's modern History. Look into it. People need/should see where you go. With the wonderful work you do...You are actually an artist, and I think the work deserves to be shown from a place of importance. Don't forget, Black History month is coming up in February, and that may be a time to aim for. Good luck. 10/03/'18.

I noticed there are hardly any foreign vehicles. Are American cars cheaper since they are assembled there?
@CharlieBo313
7 жыл бұрын
They are mostly cheaper and many people or their relatives are employed at the big 3 so they get additional discounts. Also Detroit and the surrounding area have always supported American manufactured cars because the are has a lot of stake in the success of the Big 3. I never realized that till I went other places and saw so many foreign cars like California, NY areas.
