Detroit’s Abandoned Schools Image Galler...

Images taken by photographer James Griffioen.
In 2008, he went into several schools closed the previous year to find buildings stripped of metal but left with libraries full of books, computer labs upturned, art classrooms full of supplies, and administration offices filled with confidential and sensitive student records.

This is sad...the worst thing about a decline in education is that the consequences are mostly long term. The results of this will probably not be truly felt until 10-12 years from now.

I live in Windsor, which is across the river from Detroit. You have to see it to believe it. This is what could happen to all major cities in the world. Please take pride in where you live and the neighbours that live next to you.

Did anyone see the abandoned school in Trinoble? Very similar - minus the toxic levels of radiation...

Edit - "Chernobyl" Google is a house of lies.

The Living End - Trinoble is the name of the girlfriend you don`t have.

Dudes, the fall of Detroit doesn`t have anything to do with the education system or folks not taking pride in their neighborhoods. Half the population has left, there`s nobody in those neighborhoods to take pride in them!
