Sounds like the zoo has the wrong animals in the cages.
Yes, it is. But to her credit - she was just elected to the City Council during the Nov. election - so she hasn't had time to show us what she's really made of. (yet)
How perceptive and how correct, Washington DC, Washington, DC School District, Oakland School District, Compton Jr.College, King/Drew Hospital, So. Africa, Zimbabwe, Sudan, on and on.
There are no success stories.
I've been to the Detroit Zoo as recently as the Sumemr of 2001. It was, and I presume is, a true regional treasure in an area that very badly needs family oriented venues and destinations.
I moved away from Detroit in December of 2001. I check the Detroit News and Free Press virtually every day at their websites.
This type of story is all too typical of the area.
Fools like Barabara Rose-Collins get elected time and again to positions of authority in the City. Gives the yahoos, suburban cynics and out-state haters all the cover they need to continue to write off the city. And the cycle continues.
These retards have been running a world class city into the crapper since the 60's and there are no signs of them ever slowing down.
I haven't regretted moving away from that dysfunctional icebox for 2 seconds.
