Created by a developer named Alex Alsup, the site uses historic images from Google Street View and Bing Maps to depict the changes that have occurred in Detroit over recent years. Alsups first post shows a house in the Brightmoor neighborhood. For example, he writes that a crippling $22.5 million in unpaid taxes and penalties are owed over 4,500 properties in a section of Northeast Detroit. Still, it remains clear that large sections of Detroit have plunged into disrepair, forgotten and neglected by its dwindling population.
