Florida, people would probably buy them here. Not much in the way of very old furniture or fixtures down here.

My main buyer for tubs was in Florida. Want to know who? His business has been off though for the past couple years, but still a kickin'.

Hmm.. shipping a claw foot cast iron tub to FL would probably run me more than $100, not sure.  I often have claw foot tubs pulled from bathrooms I do rehabs on.

.... BTW, those pedestal tubs go for $600 even in the condition you see.



Where do you sell them for $600 each? Tried selling one on craigslist for $150 for months and couldn't get a buyer.

From what I have seen, some people on this forum wouldn't mind if you did move there. Smiley

I can pretty much agree with the belief that the theme park idea is going to flop though, too many loose ends on that kind of a project that will be its undoing before it ever begins.

There is a great site with the old architecture of detriot think its called detriotdefunk or something like that. The guy goes around and photographs old buldings before they are demolished or burned by detriots great residents lol.

I remember a Detroit photographer's site like that from years ago. Let me see if I can find it again.... well, there's a lot of them really if you just do a google image search.

Why aren't they building things like that anymore?




Believe it not, the architectural salvage in that building alone would exceed a quarter of a million dollars. Last week, I just signed a contract to purchase only a roof that covers a half acre on 79th St. in Chicago. I'll gross right at $70K just for the lumber, not counting the copper and other metals. I've toyed with the idea of relocating to Detroit to salvage century-old homes and industrial buildings. There's a MF goldmine there. I have a buyer that will pay me $200 for each and every vintage newel post I can lay my hands on, like the one below.



The theatre above would make a nice place to put on a zombie play. Too bad it's probably not up to codes.

You want to see what a $100M looks like? Google images using Detroit Blight (no quotes).

Definitely a zombie heaven (below). BTW, those pedestal tubs go for $600 even in the condition you see.

Robocop.

Meh. What I do know is that Detroit has some fantastic architecture. Though run-down. And a great history.

Detroit actually offers an opportunity to try something else entirely.

Detroit is scarier than any zombie apocalypse...the cops are now passing out "enter Detroit at your own risk" flyers because they can no longer protect the city.

The city already has grant money for it, they are trying to condense the city so they are willing to help them move people from the outskirts to the center. Houses in the "D" sell from anywhere from 1k-10k in the slum parts.

This is cool but it will never happen. Factories and slums in the area have contaminated so much of Detroit that it would cost too much to clean it up in order to create a "zombie" park safe for the public.

And once the idea get legs, that's when grant money starts pouring in to do the EPA cleanup.

And another thought.

Who in their right mind would go to Detroit with a pocketful of fiat? Sounds like a perfect place to use the Ellet on all the QR-codes scattered around Zombie World.

Think about this for a sec. If Bitcoin were an actual business, the PR guys would be all over this story, thus boosting both entities. But instead we have two fringe ideals looking to break out.

Three things:

1. Awesome idea!
2. It's all fun and games until someone gets killed in all the fun.
3. I don't think I'd ever go for the same reason I don't go to zombie rallies: its the perfect cover for some sicko to actually release "the t virus" or whatever you would like to call it.
