As stated in my previous post, I grew up in and around Detroit and had been, in the past, to Indian Village, etc. And some of the original brick homes and their architecture were second to none. Alas, no longer the case, and they are becoming few and far between and you must risk your life to get to them. A few years back, while attending a wedding in Detroit, i had the bright idea to take a trip down memory lane and show my children the house in Detroit were I once lived. What a fool i was, as that house burned down years ago and the neighborhood is nothing but burnt buildings and crack houses. Needless to say my children were mortified and my parents, upon hearing of my stupidity, called me from Florida and chewed me out for putting their grandchildren in mortal danger!!!
It is a shame. The nice parts are becoming all too far between. Guess it's true, you can't go back home. But, I do become hopeful when I see Campus Martius and all that.
