Last summer, I drove thru Detroit (well, more round it abit, and then slightly in it to get to Canada) and it was a shithole, albeit not as bad as that crazy village place in Missouri. That just made me want to put on a straw hat and dungarees, and marry my cousin. But anyway, it was just shitty. Even here, the only place that comes near to that level of shittiness is Barlarnark(or BarL to everyone. They couldn't afford, or just couldn't spell the remaining -arnark: Actually, I live next to it, in sunny, slightly upmarket Mount Vernon though there is a factory/plant/depot thing and some ground in between), but that's still not as bad as what I saw when I was there. I mean, I was shocked when you said that they BURN buildings once a year, which could easily look nice with a few grand spent on it. That in my mind, is just fucked up. Now I look at the article again, and I realise I've never once had Faygo before....
