The best blog I've ever seen

DetroitBlog is one of the most fascinating things I've ever read on the Internet.

Here's what I know: John is a man living in downtown Detroit. He works at a newspaper. On weekends, he enjoys drinking at dive bars, playing hockey, and breaking into abandoned skyscrapers in order to take pictures. He then talks about his experiences and posts his pictures on his blog. The result is captivating, blending breathtaking photographs with "I-can't-believe-anyone-would-do-this" stories. Scattered among the photo entries are various comments about hooker slayings, corrupt cops, Detroit culture, etc. It really conveys the mood of the darker side of Detroit.

I hope that John and his partner-in-crime continue to have success in documenting the history of Detroit that no one ever sees, and that they don't sustain any more injuries. Who knows, maybe I'll run into John at a Cass Corridor bar one day -- but how will I recognize him?
