Peep this project out that's going to hopefully happen in Detroit. IceHouse Detroit is project that will hopefully happen this winter. The project is being done be Gregory Holm, a photographer, and Matthew Radune, an architect, in the city of Detroit [obviously] and is referencing the current 'freeze' in the housing market.  Detroit is leading the nation is foreclosures and this project takes one of the 80,000 abandoned houses in the city to make a statement about the current situation.

Wow. 80,000 abandoned homes in one city.  That is truly a sobering number.  I mean I knew my city was having hard times but that is a staggering number.  Anyway, the project still needs supporters and donations to happen so please donate to this if you have the money.  If you go to their website you will find all the necessary information to make an informed decision.
