Anyone interested in this really should read Aaron Renn's blog The Urbanophile http://www.urbanophile.com/ - he wrote the New Geography article. He writes mainly on the Midwest but uses it as a lens to examine urban issues. He's one of the sharpest urban thinkers out there.

Another interesting perspective of detroit: http://www.sweet-juniper.com/2009/07/feral-houses.html
Jim takes lots of pictures of Detroit. He's also got his more original site, which is less bloggy and I like it better: http://jamesgriffioen.net/index.php?/prairies/feral-houses/
The feral houses are cool but the writing at http://www.detroitblog.org/ is amazing.
