The Streets Where Lives Collide, Detroit Michigan This was Motown, this was New France Where the Chippewa did the firedance That was long ago This is here and now But the memory still remains somehow Does anyone here tonight remember those times? Can anyone here tonight just tell me what they felt like? - "Detroit '67" : Sam Roberts Band

@monoccur : Hmmm good question... i'd say the text supports the image in a way... the song tributes Detroit in many ways, but references the famous race riots of 67... a symbol that many consider accelerated it's decline. The city is proud and fascinating, the architecture from it's boom days remains, though the city is economically unsustainable, fragile.

Thank you @lorenka @VickiDonk @Nakeva : The song's lyrics were in my head the morning I shot this and seemed relevant in some ways to accompany the image. The song itself is actually quite upbeat ;)
