As violent gangs roamed the emptying neighborhoods and with them rose the drug trade. Detroit became known several times as the Arson and Murder capital of the U.S. and was often found in the FBI's list of most dangerous cities in America. Few cities have seen the rise and fall that Detroit natives has. Once a city of promise, pioneering the wave of the nation's industrialization growth, it has become a deserted Ghost Town! Its vast neighborhoods now resemble that of a War Zone rather than the place known as the "Motor City". It is estimated that there are at least 70,000 abandoned buildings, 31,000 empty houses, and 90,000 vacant lots. It was once known as the Urban explorers Mecca, before we look at Detroit today, let's first step back to when it all began. From the start it seemed like Detroit was Cursed! The story's within these pages are intended to serve as a living Testament to the "Cain & Abel's" lifestyle we live in Detroit today!
