Business thrives in bustling Detroit!

The first computer company that I worked for was Burroughs Corporation during the mid to late 60s.

Burroughs was located in Detroit, it's factory workers were union and after the martin king riots in Detroit, the company started down hill and never recovered.

As a point of reference as to how the industry has changed over time, in '68 Burroughs sold the first 4 function {add, subtract, multiply, divide} electronic calculator, manufactured by Sharp, and it sold for $1,400.

Today that calculator is considered a give away and those functions are free on cell phones.

Regardless of products or markets, union greed can kill individual companies and even drive entire industries out of the country.

Capital will flow to the most friendly environment.

You forgot to include a picture of the majestic Detroit School Book Depository:

What an amazing depiction of knowledge unlearned and potential untapped. The ruin of the city in smelly, moldy microcosm.
