Meeting with lawyers, destroying potential evidence, and running damage control with his innermost circle.

Yup. Promo stunt thread...as if the photo of the chick's ass in front of the train station might help identify the car owner.

If the sequence occurred as was reported in the story, then perhaps the person plotting the larceny meant to start a small fire, and have the fire department bust down whatever burglar bars may have...

If this is a scam, the insurance investigators will be able to put the pieces together quickly. However, it's not out of the realm of possibilities that a family was targeted by, and was the victim...

Poobert, the article says the family left the home because they were without electricity, and they sought relief from the heat at a relative's house which was air-conditioned. That's pretty...

It's a statement you invented.

I agree with Wheels and with much of the sentiment expressed above. Graffiti, whether sanctioned or not, makes the city look feral. It accentuates the "anything goes" appearance of Detroit, which is...

Oh, so you're applauding gentrification, huh? :)

I'm interested in what you think of when you say America "tolerates" poverty. It implies class warfare and abandonment, but doesn't acknowledge citizens that CHOOSE poverty.

Trotwood, I would not take this personally. Consider that clothing stores in New York City have been shut down and fumigated because bedbugs attached themselves to the inventory, and created problems...

It's important to consider the folks that cannot [[or won't) move because of their age, health, or lifetime attachment to their home - and these people typically have family members that stay in the...

ndavies, wasn't Detroit able to "find" tens of thousands of people that the Census Bureau missed in 2000 - but they didn't get added back onto the rolls in 2010?

Richard, I totally agree. One thing the city has been very bad at is creating messages encouraging people to engage in healthy behaviors. Instead, you have Brooks Patterson on a billboard stating...

Truly heartbreaking. Thanks to the mother who was able to share this information after such a devastating tragedy, and thanks for passing it along, jcole. As far as the importance of the young man...

I'd love to see a photo of Iacocca eating KFC by the rail road tracks!

I remember in 2009 taking the SMART 200 line between downtown and Ford. Occasionally I'd board a bus that reeked of urine. It was bad in the summer, because folks would open the windows to get fresh...

Richard Jewell was blamed for the bombings during the Olympics in Atlanta, Steven Hatfill was blamed for the anthrax letters that created post-911 pandemonium, Elizabeth Smart's family was blamed for...

Clearly, BRT is the "coyote ugly" of the transportation world. The ride was great, but once you got off, you found yourself looking at a bus, not a train - so you have to chew your arm off.

Danny, you raise an interesting point relating economic depression and violent crime. That notion suggests that people will undertake desperate means to support themselves, such as robbery and...

Well, things got a little crazy in Royal Oak Saturday night. The YMCA was rented out for a birthday party, and two of the guests got into a fight. They were escorted outside, and 911 was called....

Agreed. BW3's wings are far too scrawny. Need to put some meat on them bones! Besides, the *best* wings are grilled, not deep-fried...

Hypestyles, I think you're referring to the old Michigan Theater, which was also featured in 8 Mile.

One scalable idea that tends to work well is to devote yourself to the children you bring into the world, who represent the future, and who will carry your name as they live on.

Oh, and then the cost to televise them...you know, as a much-needed public service!
