If you haven't checked out the
Tour de Hood blog, then you're missing out. A man on a bike taking pictures of his travels. It's all the parts of Detroit you wish you could see, but don't. Even someone from British Columbia has found it. So, if you don't know, now you do.
Excerpt from
On Biking:I've always been interested to visit Detroit. Not only because the
Pistons have always been my Team in basketball or the fact that I'm a
car nut at heart, but also because it's a city with an interesting
history. It's also a representation of the rise, and more recently, the
fall of American industry.
Detroit used to be a metropolitan city of 2 million people. Now, it's a
city of 700,000. I've always liked to photograph, industrial landscapes,
and the more abandoned and desolate, the better. This is also (perhaps
strangely to some) part of the appeal for me as far as Detroit goes. But
since I can't see myself traveling there any time soon, I travel there
virtually every once in a while through
http://tourdehood.wordpress.com/.
It's one man's photographic documentation of his weekly rides through
his beloved city.
