1. rip art deco apartment
2. These buildings were the best when they were new Its hard to believe that Detroit lost 2/3 of its population since 1950 Lawton street had lots of these treasures at one time It's sad to see historically significant architecture thrown in the garbage
3. The least they could have done was clean up the building site and removed the debris. At least it have looked nicer.
4. If you check the google map today for this lot it still looks like it does at the end of this video. They virtually removed nothing after they tore it down. A mountain of bricks.

16. 0.29 pushing the building onto the next door property .... 1.39 Touching the power lines ..... 2.05 brings the f'king power lines down completely WTF
17. By the look of things in the Motor City, the whole place is either being burnt to the Ground or, razed to the Ground. Its a real shame.
18. The EuroAmerican Empire falls, to be replaced with mud huts.
