The Saline, MI place is clearly a McMansion. I'm not sure what to think here. I've called these things all kinds of names, such as Toad Stools when they come in bunches.

I'm surprised that there weren't any pictures of abandoned factories or entire malls.

Do we have a picture of Phil Gramm introducing the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act? That would be my top pick.

I have been passing the Hilltop Restaurant almost every day. The restaurant has been closed for over 20 years. Although lately I have been seeing some folks poking around the place. Maybe it will open again sometime!

That recession truck is a good example of the kind of prosperity rightwing conservatives give us.
