There are areas just as bad in England. Detroit is not representative of all America. It’s over 700 miles away from me.
It’s about 40 miles away from me and it’s decay is spreading like a disease.
“Detroit is not representative of all America.”
It is, however, representative of any area controlled by liberals, unions, and democrats for 60 years...
One of my favorite sites that I like to recommend when the subject of Detroit comes up - Forgotten Detroit: http://www.forgottendetroit.com/
It’s just sad to think of all the magnificent buildings just going to waste, and the fall of the economy that used to support them.
I went to UM Ann Arbor in the early ‘70s and married a guy from Dexter. As a student, I went with my friends to Cobo for rock concerts. Even then, most of the whites I knew from Detroit had either just moved out or where planning their get away. By time my son went to UM in the mid ‘90s, the only place his uncle would take him in Detroit was Greek Town (the paternal side of the family is Greek) and the baseball stadium. What a loss.
