Detroit vs. Everybody Blog

"Detriot vs. Everybody." Blog - Rembert Browne's "Detriot vs. Everybody" hit the reader very hard by describing, a once sprawling city, as a ruin-filled deserted city. He starts his article off as a adventure journal and describing what he sees in modern day Detroit.  He tried to present an honest portrait of the place by taking pictures and showing what he actually saw when he traveled throughout Detroit. He went in with a different mindset than normal Detroit visitors, a positive mindset. Browne tried to stray away from normal visitor spots and traveled into the deep Detroit areas that might be portrayed as dangerous/abandoned. He took pictures of once sprawling parks/ plazas that are now abandoned but also steps back to reflect how beautiful this city once was. He used the example for Heidelberg Project, which artist Tyree Guyton created using different material to decorate suburban houses. The fact that one house was destroyed by arson is kind of disturbing showing another nature that Detroit harbors.The reality of his trip is that Detroit is a deserted place where it seems like a third world country, as it was portrayed by Browne himself. I saw that public areas weren't sprawling but what do you expect from years of negative mass media produced about the city. With shows like Low Winter Sun, depicting a very bad and dangerous city to live in, it hard to believe this city is about to rebound from bankruptcy.
