My parents both talked about the 'Paris of the mid west', I can only assume they meant Detroit.

I just talked to a friend of mine involved in some minor movies being made. He states, "They are making a post nuclear holocaust movie, and they chose to film in Detroit."

I asked him "why Detroit" He said, "Because they don't have to do anything to the set."

The state of Californis OUGHT to instruct Americans as to how badly democrats can manage any economy. Detroit is too clear an example of democrap unionized socialism results for the media to admit it and report it extensively.

To me, Detroit is a classic example of a small scale “Atlas Shrugged”.

The apologists want to make all the excuses they can, but the bottom line is the corruption and greed of the unions destroyed the industry in Detroit, and all the other things that followed, exodus, violence and such were predictable.

Detroit's socialist nightmare is America's future
Sorry, but I think New Orleans wins hands down.
With a life threatening hurricane bearing down on them (with plenty of warning),
people dependent on gov't for decades couldn't even save their own lives.
