Hello, there are many older and newer pictures of Detroit. I don't have any. Just wait, I'm sure others will have some. |

There is a book called "Detroit: Then and Now" that I have seen at Borders that has old and new pictures comparing certain vantage points in the city. I wish I could tell you who the book is by. |

Search for Ookpik using "Look in:" "Names of authors." There have been many before & after photos in the recent "Old Photo - Where Is This?" series. |

I picked up a couple of great books recently. One is, "The Buildings of Detroit" by W. Hawkins Ferry and, "This is Detroit" 1701-1951 205 years in pictures. I've scanned in about 26 pics from the 2nd one but don't know if there would be a problem with uploading it to flickr.com where I have an account. Would I run into any problems since they are copyrighted? Does anyone know how I can upload them for your viewing and not loose some of the resolution? The second book has pics of earlier Detroit with views from 1951. |

Also a lot has happened downtown since the book was published. So it is becoming obsolete very quick. |

Ookpik has butt loads of the best old Detroit photos I have ever seen. Look 'em up on the forums and look for daily Detroit Quick Pics for current photos. - Bullet |

Over a year ago on this site someone posted a link that had a current day aerial picture of the St. Cyril neighborhood and when you moved your cursor over the picture you could see what that area looked like in the 1950's. Would anyone happen to remember the above link? I was thinking about those pics a few weeks ago while I drove through my grandmothers old neighborhood. I did a few searches but came up with nothing. Thanks for any help. |
