NEW RESIDENTS - 2009

According to the AP, Detroit is gaining some new residents.

The red fox is carving out a place in downtown Detroit, joining raccoons, skunks, opussum, white-tailed deer and red-tailed hawks that are finding homes in untended lots and buildings.

And we note that Flint is considering turning off city utilities to sections of the city which have only these new inhabitants.

They don't require electricity, water, and sewer.

The History Channel has been airing a series about what would happen to our cities should man suddenly depart. The name escapes for some reason. (Maybe it's the late hour!)
Anyway, what they described on the series is exactly what's happening. Nature reclaiming what was hers. It apparently doesn't take very long. Life is incredibly opportunistic.
