Ghost City: Difference between revisions

** Or conversely, late on weekday nights.

* Areas of [[Motor City|Detroit]]. Nature has so thoroughly reclaimed some of the abandoned lots that you can even find wild pheasants running around, and [http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1864272,00.html one TIME photographer sent to the city] said parts of it felt like "a post-apocalyptic environment." The ''whole city'', and even some of the suburbs, may be [[Dying Town|on its way]].)

* [[New Orleans]] in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. They got better!

** [[Greater Houston]] during Hurricane Rita, before the storm moved north, due to the largest mass movement of civilians during peacetime. Any hurricane will result in a portion of the population moving to higher ground, helping to fulfill this trope for localized areas, but after seeing what happened to New Orleans the Houstonians understandably wanted to avoid it. To this day local citizens are still divided on whether to refer to 'Texodus' as an understandable precaution, a dry run for the next Cat 4/5, a panic induced fiasco, or a combination of all of the above.
