The current mayor has run what’s left of Detroit into the ground. Ten years ago my dad died and my mom was left in our family home on the far eastside (8 mile/Kelly).

She was mugged. I went to the police. They told me she could not be protected; and to move her out. I did. Now our old neighborhood is full of abandoned, boarded up houses.

It’s become a third world city.

Were you close to State Fair? A friend of mine lived on State Fair about a block or two from Kelly and we both went to Denby......
