I worked for Ford from 1991 to 1994 and lived two years in Dearborn, sandwiched around one year out in Belleville. It wasn’t a bad place, and I thought it was a mini-version of what Detroit could have been had it not gone to Hell in the 60’s. I have some good memories of the area and yes, even of Detroit. I’m glad now that I didn’t put down roots and stay there, though, and there are better places in the US to live.
Back in the 60’s, the big draw of Dearborn was that the schools were quite good. I suppose they still are, comparatively speaking.
Henry Ford was a union buster. They pushed him out of his own business because of that. Ironically, it’s come full circle, and if he were here today, he’d say I told you so.
