Detroit UE spots on new HBO show.

I was watching the premiere of a new HBO show called, "Hung", when I noticed some UE locations in the opening credits and first few minutes. The shows not about UE, but being set in the Detroit area, they used some UE spots as examples of how the area has gone downhill.

I took some screen shots.

This one is from the opening credits.


Tearing down of old Tiger Stadium


Random shots of locations I've seen before, but I don't recall their names.













The premise of the show is the main character's life has gone to crap. He's been divorced, he has a crappy paying job, his house burns down, his kids leave him to go live with their Mom and the only thing he has going for him is a large sexual organ. So he starts prostituting himself.

I'll keep my opinions of the show to myself, but I will say I turned it off after the first 20 minutes or so.

Sorry, thought it would have general appeal since it was on a national TV show.

I'm not sure what you're apologizing for.

i was actually in the Packard when the film crew swooped up and shot the scene of the dude walking down the Boulevard. as a matter of fact, we were watching a few of the takes from the windows of Blg 13 (the office wing) which you can see behind him.

they had 2 cop cars with them.

just because it says Harbor Light painted on the side of it does not mean that it was a Salvation Army clinic since it opened in the 1920s...
and no, it's not on Cass:

not that i consider Wikipedia to be some end-all be-all reference source, but...it was the first thing that popped up.
