A cop killed in the line of duty is used to create a cybernetic police office in a crime-infested Detroit of the near future. But subterfuge abounds.

to add correction - Many of these places either no longer exist or have begun rehab as is the case with the Train Station - where Detroits' most recent State of the City Address was held. It is being rehab by Ford Motor Company and expects to be occupied and open for the public to visit in the summer of 2023.

We can't wait to see it

During the Gilded Age of the late 19th century Detroit, Michigan was known to some as the Paris of the West, on account of its opulent architecture, grand boulevards and burgeoning cityscape.

As Detroit grew into a major Great Lakes transportation hub, tens of thousands of European immigrants came in search of work in the shipbuilding and automotive industries that gave rise to the ‘Motor City’, while the successes of Ford, Chrysler and Dodge helped fuel a construction boom that saw numerous Art Deco and neogothic skyscrapers developed throughout the 1920s. It wasn’t long before Detroit was the United States’ fourth largest city, and boasted much of the country’s finest architecture.

But the gasoline crises of 1973 and 1979 hit the car industry hard. Coupled with racial tensions and an increase in drug-fuelled crime during the same period, Detroit was plunged into a period of unemployment as its industrial supremacy effectively collapsed. Ironically, many of the city’s grandest building survive today, abandoned skeletons of their former selves, for many no economic incentive to either restoration or demolition.

Was going thru my insta stories and simply couldn’t pass up sharing this

talked to a retired Detroit firefighter whose kids went to the same school as Steve Yzerman's and he reports the man to be "fucking so tiny! just a little, small man! they say he's, what, 5'10, but I'll be damned if he's an inch above 5'7, and he was STILL able to do all that!"
