    Many of us had to flee. The time away rejuvenated my attitude towards the city and I've since returned and bought in the city. After living in other cities I realized they have the exact same issues...

    As I noticed on the list, the number of Art Fairs, galleries and Museums, I don't think Quartz properly did their homework. Detroit has always been a leader in so many industries pertaining to art....

    Boblo Island

    "The park was located on Bois Blanc Island, Ontario. It lies just above the mouth of the Detroit River. The people of Detroit, Michigan characterized it as that city's Coney Island." -From Wikipedia...

    Anyone doubting Detroit's comeback is definitely out of touch. We have much work to do but Detroit is turning the corner.

    I agree with the return of the street car for Detroit. It's more affordable and it adds a different sort of charm not typically seen in this part of the country and Detroit needs something to...

    I concur with emu steve and maverick1. If we continue on this trajectory and with a little more creativity, I'd say we're on the right track.

    I moved out of Michigan several years ago because I didn't want my entire life to go by, not experiencing what it's like to live in a large bustling city. Now, after getting my fix, i'm looking...

    I saw a Mr. Fo Fo's BBQ joint opening on Livernois/7 mile yesterday. There's also a "Coming Soon" sign for a place called Conversations on Livernois. That one seems to have been there a while,...

    I have to agree with your statement.

    But on a side note, for the first time ever in my memory, I see homes in the Boston Edison neighborhood being bought, properly rehabbed, maintained and...

    Live music venues

    I read two articles today about what makes a "Great" music city. It mentioned New Orleans but said their scene exists solely for the purpose of today's tourism industry. It also went on to name New...

    I think it depends on how you define "bottomed out?" In terms of fiscal matters, I say yes. Bankruptcy has been the answer to Detroit's fiscal woes for at least 10 years. Only time will tell if the...

    The home prices in the Land bank are overly inflated as well. What they're doing is putting lipstick on a pig. They need to overhaul the system and set some updated rules in place.

    I'd guess that thousands of people probably tried to bid at this past tax auction and were out-bid by wealthy investors. I would also guess that there were probably thousands of discouraged people...

    It's no secret that property values have increased in the city of Detroit. Properties are selling fast and even experiencing multiple bids. As a person who wants badly to see Detroit's comeback, the...
