My Aunt took these pictures before I went to Detroit with my cousins. I wore my leopard print dress from sourpuss clothing that I got from Pin up parlor in Deland. I paired it with my red wedges from target and a matching flower clip from H&M.
(No shoes allowed in the house so I was barefoot for these photos, but you can see the wedges in previous posts.)
I had heard that the city was basically burned down since it has been
going downhill for quite some time and has filed for bankruptcy. I went
there two years ago for a music festival, and I thought it had a lot of
character and I just had to go back to see if the rumors were true.
My cousin picked me up and I drove her awesome gangster car. My outfit was tied together perfectly with these sunglasses that I got at the flea market.
The condition of the city was rough, as I expected, but no worse than it was last time I was there! I love abandoned buildings, so perhaps that is why I still like the city.
We hung out and my cousin skateboarded around hart plaza. It was a fun day/night. We also drove around Belle Isle and that was beautiful.
Its hard to imagine the city as it once was in its prime. It has seen so much and bred so much talent. I don't believe that it can rise back up from this, but there is still character lingering in this place.
