Miracle on 42nd Street - Documentary Film about Manhattan Plaza

OMG. I had no idea that these buildings on 42nd and 10th had such a rich and storied history. Manhattan Plaza, as the building is called, is a 46-story building in Hell’s Kitchen that has fostered the creative arts.

Inside Detroit's Failing Public Schools

If it's not apparent from my posts lately, I've been thinking about Detroit a lot. This video from The Atlantic uses a drone to briefly fly over several derelict schools in Detroit to give a top-down view of the utter destruction of this school district. It's very sad. So much potential just gone to waste because of a history of mismanagement and a declining local economy. 

The next time I go to Detroit, I'm bringing a drone with me. Maybe I'll catch some of those newly repainted buildings.
