That's not fair. They selected the worst pictures of Detroit and the best of Hiro.

For instance, here is a picture of Hiro's Industrial Promotion Hall as is today:

See? Look at all that nice grass Detroit has. Hiro just has shrubs and overgrowth.

(I really did try to find some nice pictures of Detroit....)

Sshhh!! We're not supposed to talk about that. At least, that is the impression I get, since I've never recalled seeing these images of a reborn Hiroshima again in our media, nor any discussions of how high (or low) the current radiation levels are.
