Critical Detroit has come a long way this past year especially since we switched to WordPress. We’re closing in on 13,000 visitors for the year. It’s not much, but more than we’ve ever had in the past.
As the year winds down, let me share some things I’d love to get from you. Don’t worry, I’m not asking for donations.

Get Involved
There is not enough discussion about architecture in this town.
You can let us know about some interesting new architecture, development, or competition. There’s a real easy form for Tipping Us located at the top of every page. There have been a few suggestions, but we could always use more help in noticing new things.

Hot Topics
There are a few topics that haven’t been covered or need more attention. If you have any information on the following subjects, please let me know:
- Unbuilt Projects – This has been touched on in the past, but I know there are more out there.
- Thumb Tack Club – Architecture club that was active during Detroit’s most prolific building period.
- Urban Detroit Area – In a nutshell, read this (via Time magazine). I’ve seen the study, but would like to review it closer.
Thanks for visiting throughout the past year.

I am fascinated by the old buildings of Detroit. The architectural style is what made Detroit “the Paris of the West” back in the day. It’s a shame to see so much of the city in ruins. There’s a good video on youtube I just came across that shows a lot of homes and buildings in shambles:

It’s sad but very interesting at the same time. I thought you might enjoy it.
