My parents were both from Detroit. Back in the 20’s and 30’s Hudsons was a super-elegant department store, practically Beverly Hills in scope. My grandmother’s favorite place to eat lunch was at Hudsons, very white glove, very hoity-toity.

I miss the Maurice salad. Hudson’s was a great store.

I grew up in Detroit's “golden era” (up until 1967).

Detroit is living off nostalgic fumes, it's gone, what was an industrial giant, progressive and industrious is over.

The only thing left there is a good sports town (except the Lions), a few Greek restaurants, the “Renthonthenner” (Renaissance Center) a few good Coney Island hot dog restaurants, a good Symphony orchestra and...the sprawling suburbs.

Detroit is a shell of what it was and it's mayors have been the absolute worst of what humanity can give us, starting with Coleman (marbles in his mouth) Young.

As long as people split from the city before sunset, business will be bad. Crime is the killer there...
