@LauraPaglin what city is this?
-
If Cleveland had built subways,and kept up with Chicago or any other major city.. Things that killed Cleveland were. The lack of Hotels thus unable to attract huge conventions. There was only about four (Sheraton,Bond Court,Holiday Inn Lakeside,Cleveland Plaza Hotel *aka Statler office tower. The news would always (during the 70s have developers propose hotels but city codes and bureacracy tangled that one up and companies left (Diamond Shamrock etc).
-
Almost 100,000 thousand people left in a decade. There's no point on building anything new since the demand gets weaker on a yearly basis. The city is slowly returning to nature.

Folks - it's Cleveland, not Atlanta...though I admit it looks like parts of many decaying cities in the US.

FYI - I shot this from a van with the camera resting on a sand bag. The guy in the blue suit thought I was about to gun him down...so now when I do this sort of thing, I always make sure I tape the word "Press" all over the van (the way they do in war zones).

inkey - that is a good question about immigrants. Immigrants often bring with them skills to start new businesses. Often they are entrepreneurs - creating jobs and stimulating the economy. Asian restaurants are an obvious example...

Well thank you dogterd (odd name). That's very flattering - but if you put Phillip Glass under anything, it automatically becomes a piece of art. :-). The music was actually used in Errol Morris' documentary "Thin Blue Line".

It's Cleveland. And yes - the city has suffered in part because its leaders have not done enough to attract immigrants (among other things).

Somernot - I wish it weren't true - but if you drive out of your little hip enclave (Tremont?) you'll find that streets like these make up a HUGE portions of Cleveland, not to mention East Cleveland and other inner ring suburbs. These are just the ones I happened to film. Granted it's not as bad as Detroit - but nor is it as big.
WorldOfWowcraft. Yes it does have an oddly clean appearance. Though on film and video, things often appear that way.
