A bit of history

The development of the economy has traditionally contributed to the cultural growth and architectural prosperity of the city . American Paris, as once called Detroit, decorated with 19th-century mansions, Washington boulevard, the Public Library building and the Art Institute celebrated by the architects Gilbert and Crete, supplemented in the 70-80s by the exhibition center of Cobo Hall, the high-rise Renaissance center in 73 floors and the bronze composition Spirit of Detroit, was the epitome of prosperity, stability and luxury . However, life makes its own adjustments . The development of the conveyor automotive industry at the factories of Ford, General Motors, Chrysler demanded a cheap labor force that attracted a wave of black migrants from all over the country that gradually began to force the white intelligentsia into the suburbs of Detroit, . With the advent of poor neighborhoods, Detroit began to slowly die from the black plague of crime, prostitution and drug trafficking .

However, if all America successfully recovered from this fever, then the golden capital of Michigan, shattered by the oil crisis, demographic catastrophe, robbery and violence of criminal groups, rolled steadily into the abyss of poverty and oblivion .Looting, desolation and the decision of the authorities to demolish historic buildings in the city center that would free parking spaces made their juicy touch into the picture of the city's decay .And yet, despite all the difficulties, Detroit, with the remnants of the uncultivated cultural heritage, managed to preserve the glory of the city, which is of great interest to tourists from all over the world .We can say that the unstable economic situation, abandoned skyscrapers, theaters and a secret curfew for white citizens, give a certain harsh romanticism to the western city .But, that personally for you walk on Detroit did not become a blockbuster, yet do not leave in the evening from the hotel and stay away from Downtown .
