Rust Belt turnaround - going green?

July 16th 2009 21:44

An abandoned house is seen in a former thriving working-class neighborhood near downtown Flint, Michigan, July 8, 2009. In Flint, the birthplace of General Motors, a pioneering program that allows local government to capture profits from tax foreclosures has generated funds to demolish over 1,000 abandoned homes in the past five years.

So is the town becoming less run-down? Those houses are so sad.

Sadly, they are pulling such houses down, ironic ehen there are homeless people, I rather like that little blue one myself, but it is , for me, a long way from home. Modern society, how strange!

Good to see you out and about Tracy, we'll be looking forward to the news, I hope you've talked to Fergal about it.

That's sad. I hope people have somewhere decent to live, those places are so run-down. Yes, I find the blue one quite enticing too. Bet it could tell a lot of stories.

Thanks, katyzzz, it's nice to be around. I'm about to have a chat with Fergs on our morning walk. I was just waiting for some warmer air.

See you later!

I guess you're both panting a bit by now, Tracy.

I do hope Ferg is paying attention, little dogs have their own ideas of these things, you know.

Yes, I am huffing a bit now, much more than Fergal ever does. Yes, he does have his own ideas, you're right. But thankfully, he's happy to listen...at times...
