Seems like a prime spot. And if they rebuild, I'd love to see what they build on the spot.

Wow, just got back home for the holidays and thought I'd check the DYes boards. Reading this post, especially the bolded, makes me think "Welcome home, English! Same old stuff!"

Anyway, came in to...

"It's not easy being green..."

Excellent and accurate assessment.

Hate to hear this. I used to hang out as a young single woman in that area all the time 10-12 years ago and nothing ever happened. To be sure, I don't even have the time of day for the panhandlers...

One more thing. The lead story on yesterday's evening news was about a roach-infested bus traveling from AC [[Atlantic City) to NYC:
...

Philly makes you wish you didn't have a car. Back home, auto travel is the most convenient way to go, but now that I'm here my vehicle just seems like a big albatross around my neck. I chose a place...

Or a single William Wilberforce. Race relations in the UK and the former Commonwealth are magnitudes better than they are in the United States.

Whenever someone tells me how much more polite...

There is a Sanders at Twelve Oaks. I agree, the sundaes are amazing!

Sorry to hear this... I waited along with everyone else for YOBS to open, and was hoping to get there during my Spring Break visit home. Glad to hear WSU cops remain awesome, there's really no other...

Hermod, I already made Detroit instantly a better place the second I departed. Black Detroit population is now -1, including my vote! But wait, an entire family of my cousins moved to Arizona, so...

Um, the value of your home, and all the other homes in a region, is affected by the amenities of that region. We can do nothing about the weather, but we can do something about what Metro Detroit...

Thanks, you guys. This has been one of the toughest years of my life. I never thought I'd move, especially not so soon. I will be home as often as I can, and I want to split my time and residency...

Hey good people! I'm still here, but haven't been able to drop in. Thanks so much to Roq and Ravine for letting me know about the page.

There's been a ton of things that have happened over the...

It's not race, education, or poverty. I think we have to go far deeper than that. I am starting to believe that the crime and dysfunction comes from a sense of deep, existential despair and...

You're right, of course. I'm not against mass transit. Apologies, I was being snarky and mocking the language that a few of the pro-EM posters have used in other contexts.

That's the way Detroit's financial situation will likely be handled. We're not the first city to be in this position, and we certainly won't be the last.

Ultimately, the United States government could use an Emergency Financial Manager appointed by a consortium of our multinational corporate overlords to balance the federal budget and eliminate the...

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit...

I don't care how incompetent Detroit elected officials were and are. The only question that I am concerned about when it comes to the EM/EFM controversy is this. Are we, or are we not, citizens of...

My wallet was left behind at the first aid station in Comerica Park during ALCS Game 4 [[October 12?). It was returned less all of the cash I had in it.

My iPhone 3GS was stolen at the Walgreens...

You're absolutely right. The city of Detroit would become [[even more of) an international pariah.

I caught that, too. Man, it's hard for those of us who didn't win the ethnic birth lottery... now, it's the Chaldeans and Albanians' fault for Detroit not having any healthy food options? I say we...

Me too, Roq. But I very much have a "when in Rome" mentality when it comes to food. I do Panera and Whole Foods while visiting my family in the 'burbs, but in Detroit, Avalon and Harbortown Market...

Don't worry. The powers that be are way ahead of you. You can change the demographics of an area through gentrification... but you can also change them through neglect.

The "entire city" thing...
