The result was a surreal landscape of towering apartments, beautiful landscaping, and unusually quiet streets that earned it the nickname “Ghost City.” But Forest City isn't actually abandoned, and its story is changing as new residents, businesses, and government-backed economic plans begin bringing activity back.Birthday Shout Out FormInstagramUse Code MKP for Harbor & SproutBecome a Patron Or a Subscriber on Spotify! -
