Man, I know where I'm going to move to!!!
It's better to live in the northern suburbs like I do, I can snag a house for next to nothing around here and I won't run as high of risk of being gunned down in the street. Michigan isn't a bad place to live if you can stand cold winters, hot and humid summers, crappy roads and no employment

I suspect it's a combination of a lot of things, including ridiculous real estate speculation, sub prime lending, and certainly a failing automotive industry, among other things.
How about these figures for the average home prices in Detroit:
Oct. 2007 = $185,000
Oct. 2008 = $25,000
Mar. 2009 = $18,000
Today? =
90% drop in just 17 months.
That particular area started clearing out by the household already in 2006. Not nice.
Just found a couple shots that I forgot to post from a while ago. Random Flickr browsing, but they are very summer-like, so I thought they were a propos.

Not really cool or amazing, but a picture I took yesterday morning of a McChord jet we flew from Ramstein, GE to Tallil Airbase, Iraq. Around 0200-0300 if I remember right. Flew in to drop off some pallets and HUMMV's, and then got re-tasked last minute to Al Udeid AB, Qatar to pick up 2 "high priority" medevac patients to take to Ramstein, GE.

You can't look up whether someone has a tripod. You have to look down.

Yeah, really cool one. Did you use a tripod or placed the camera on something to get that one so sharp?
EDIT: Wow: 4,5secs exposure. Not handheld, that's for sure.
No tripod. I was laying on my stomach on the taxiway holding the camera as flat and firmly onto the ground as possible.
A decent tripod and remote is something I need to invest in, though. Oh, and I need to learn how to actually use my camera better.

Reminds me of the music video for Invaders Must Die off The Prodigy's new album.
Edit: In fact they were there for the video. Awesome.
