This is the city that Pope John Paul II visited. Now Islamic calls to prayer blare from speakers in the town.

No surprise that there was a bit of flight.

:) That was back in the late 80's. I remember one T-shirt: "I went to Rome to visit the Pope, but, he was in Hamtramck."

Um...no. I would argue that the flight started in the late 70's when the old Dodge Main plant closed. Or, perhaps, in 1980 when GM built their Poletown plant which took out more than a thousand homes and over 100 businesses.

Of course, I could be wrong.
