Detroit!!! It's filled with them. And the one's that aren't boarded up are burned down or half burned. Every drive down a typical residential street there? Every third house is boarded or burned. It's a mess!
St. Louis and Pittsburgh. both cities have lost over half their population since their population peaks. That's a lot of abandoned homes. I still like Pittsburgh though. St. Louis... not so much. Saw quite a few in Philly too while I was wandering around town there.
I was just wondering what are some cities that have alot of boarded-up buildings?
I think the answer in that is look ar ANY large metro area where drugs exist. That's pretty much everywhere across the map. But what's interesting is the poorer, run down neighborhoods get the wood boards slapped on the windows.
I also can't quite figure out why the city of Cleveland decides to board up a drug house and then paint a figure of a man or a cat on the wood boards in the windows??? New form of art?
