We're definitely seeing the end of an era. Detroit was one of the industrial capitals of the world. Over the past 20 or 30 years, our manufacturing base has bottomed out. While there still are numerous abandoned factories, they're slowly and steadily being torn down. The area that used to be known as the "Tool & Die" district is seeing a similar fate. I've been documenting this part of town in photos, and now paintings. If you live in Detroit, I encourage you to check it out before it's gone.
