Motown - reborn

I live pretty close to this town and out cities share a "whole bunch of economical realities...". Here's a post I submitted in the T-Dot forum. If any of it is of interest, I'll happily X.......pa. Detroit is not an expressway victim. And I for one would love to see a real (small R) renaissance in Detroit. If partnering with Toronto helps the case... all the better. We are the "have" and they are the "have not". But we have a lot more in common than you think. Detroit has suffered the same political rot (plus many, many other issues) that Buffalo has... the difference between the two can best be described by the 11 PM news, aka "fires at eleven". Buffalo's fires are not politically motivated (lots of wood), while Detroit's always were... I pick Detroit if anyone can figure out how to navigate the war between a wealthy suburban power structure and a very poor, weedy, almost forgotten (but glorious), scary downtown. Did that make any sense??>
