Detroit seems to have a problem with razing its historic architecture rather than preserving it... unfortunately, that sounds too familiar 'round these parts.
I recently came across the photography at 100abandonedhouses.com, which documents homes in Detroit's abandoned neighborhoods:

From the photographer: "The abandoned houses project began innocently enough roughly ten years ago. I actually began photographing abandonment in Detroit in the mid 90’s as a creative outlet, and as a way of satisfying my curiosity with the state of my home town. I had always found it to be amazing, depressing, and perplexing that a once great city could find itself in such great distress, all the while surrounded by such affluence."
Let's make sure Cincinnati doesn't get to the point where tourists are flooding in to photograph our crumbling historic architecture.
