I'm fascinated with Detroit. 
the car industry collapse left it an empty shell
and houses
I heard that there are some 12,000 abandoned homes in detroit, 50,000 in foreclosure, and the average selling price in 2008 was ~$18,000. if you want to see 100 very poignant examples, check this out http://www.100abandonedhouses.com/
even the churches are abandoned 
the decline of detroit is a stunning visual of the car industry collapse, I'll be keeping my eye on this town.
