Warren at Chalmers.

That was my grandparents' neighborhood. They lived on Chandler Park Drive and he was a pastor at a church on Kercheval and Lakewood. We lived on the west side, the east side was a different world to me.

I think forced busing played a big part in Detroit's downfall. That, combined with a prolonged teachers' strike caused a lot of people to pack up and leave in my old neighborhood: Grand River and Evergreen.

They were all prosperous neighborhoods.

What happened to Detroit, the once arsenal of democracy is a crime. The criminals are big government and big labor.
