I was born and raised in Detroit. Until about 1965 it was a great place to live.

It's a shame, isn't it.

I grew up in Chatham, Ontario (born in 1962) and my Mom and Dad dated at the clubs in Detroit in the 1950's. I remember the great flea markets on the street when I was little, we used to go often to restaurants, the Olympia, Tiger Stadium, etc. After the riots, everything changed. I went to concerts at Cobo and Joe Loius as a teenager, but you took the tunnel bus and stayed on the river side of the street under watchful police eyes to walk to the venues. The other side of the Ave looked just scary. It was a beautiful city once, vibrant and fun. No more.

Like I said, it's a shame, really.

Yeah, it's a great shame. It is a third world city in the middle of America, not that the MSM would ever notice.

But for the vote stealing that goes on in every general election there, the Democrats would never carry Michigan.

Not that the MSM would ever notice though.
