Why did I move away? There were no jobs. If you graduated at that time with any kind of technical degree you had to move out. Michigan, as a whole, has great colleges and its education system in Flint was considered superior. However, you can't keep the people you are educating if don't you have a place for them work after they graduate.
Another factor is the Democratic leadership in most of the cities in the top ten. I know in Flint and Detroit, the mayors were all crooks and were so busy stuffing their pockets with money and doling out favors that they did not notice the open faucet that was forcing people like me to move to Texas.
I remember when Flint was growing and accommodating many young, big families. I remember the fact that Flint was a bonafide cultural center. I remember when policeman were expected to have a four-year degree and the streets safe enough for me to ride my bike wherever I wanted.
Liberal leadership is a cancer to the body politic.

Where did the Motown culture go ?
