When you see pictures of Detroit you're usually bombarded with images of broken-down houses and abandoned buildings.
But it's not all like that. There are good things happening and buildings are being repurposed, built, and re-used.
Here's some examples of that thanks to Google Maps and Detroit Urbex. Detroit Urbex currently has an amazing feature up about the rise, fall, and restoration of Detroit. Check it out here.
