” 400 liquor stores “?
Understandable, I’d drink lots too if I lived there.

Actually that doesn't sound like a lot, given it is such a big city. Here in Boston, we probably have 400 liquor stores within walking distance of my office, and that only covers part of the city.

Back in the mid-1970s, I remember Detroit being a thriving city. They had the Detroit Red Wings (hockey), Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, Motown, a great place to get some good barbeque and a whole mess of thriving car factories.

Back then, it was New York City that was the dysfunctional city from hell. That was pre-Guiliani New York City. I'm thinking that Detroit needs somebody like Rudy Guiliani.

BTW, I still have a Red Wings jersey. Best hockey jerseys ever. Remember that kid that wore on in that movie about Ferris Bueller? That was me when I was a kid. No, not Ferris, but the dude in that Red Wings jersey. Boy, was I a mess back then.
