Detroit: capitale industrielle devenue ville fantome

A défaut d'être partis plusieurs jours pour le Fall Break nous avons décidé de visiter DETROIT. Ville située à 50 miles d'Ann Arbor, l'équipe est constituée de 5 persones: Anaïs, Johnathan, Manu, Remy et moi! 5 français à la découverte du Michigan.
Nous avons loué une belle voiture pour ce trip. Première arrêt: Howell et son célèbre outlet où nous faisons quelques achats en vue du rude hiver arrivant.

Puis direction Detroit, cette ville mystère dont nous entendons tant parlé, en plus ou moins bien!

Arrivé dans le centre ville, nous tombons sur l'immeuble General Motors et la ville nous semble plutôt propre et agréable. (nous sommes presque décus), quoique très peu animée.
Mais nous décidons de nous avancer un peu plus dans la ville et très rapidement le paysage urbain change completement...
Les grattes ciels luxueux sont remplacés par des vieux batiments beaucoup plus sales, désafectés, a moitié en ruines. Il n'y a presque personne dans les rues. Nous ne croisons quasiment que des noirs qui nous dévisagent bizarrement... Les bouches d'égout fument, dégageant une odeur nauséabonde, et pourtant, on est à moins de 500 m du stade de foot, "Ford Field" ou des tours General Motors qui sont flambants neufs! L'écart est surprenant et cette ville semble glauque au possible...
La crise industrielle de l'automobile a laissé de nombreuses sequelles dans cette ville dont la population est passée de 1.9 millions en 1950 a 900 000 aujourd'hui... (dont 81.6% d'afro-Américain)

Il semble cependant que nous n'avons pas vu certains aspects de la ville beaucoup plus positifs (berceau de la musique Techno, ville d'artiste, l'un des plus bo musée d'Art des US...) donc j'espère bien y retourner pour en avoir une meilleure image!
