Admittedly I have mostly skimmed the posts on this thread, but no one seems to have addressed the practice of "red-lining". "Red-lining" was a de facto form of residential segregation that probably...

"neo-Damon Runyon"? C'mon. It's not nice to speak ill of the dead, and besides, Runyon had some talent. :-)

Plenty of trash cans in Eastern Market where the majority of tailgating seems to take place, and open dumpsters, as well.

And writing tickets doesn't cost money? We can't even seem to pay for...

I seem to see a lot of this "only in Detroit" mentality on these forums. Many of the problems I see in Detroit are not unique. Detroit does have its own unique set of problems, but assholes are not...

Stop and frisk is already de facto in Detroit. I recently decided to try a new bus rout to see if it got me to work quicker. Big mistake. I was stopped at Gratiot near Warren waiting for the...

1991 was long before the proliferation of McDonalds? Really?

This no restroom thing isn't confined to the city. I ride the bus daily from the city to the suburbs. I have a mile and a half walk from the bus stop to my home in Clinton Township and there isn't...

Yep! I was scrolling to the end to post this exact comment. "Baby!"

Oddly enough, around the time of the revolution, British English probably more closely resembled Midwestern American English than the posh BBC English to which we are so accustomed today. I can't...

Most of the problems in modern politics are about class not race. Race is a very convenient way do distract the masses from the real issue.

I haven't seen anyone talk about Detroit's population in...

Where, exactly, does it say this?

That you know of. He was involved in running a stolen car ring from the inside a few years back. I'm not sure what became of that. Chances are, if they let him out they will just have to try him for...

Don't you have some family that you can pass judgement on? Anybody in your life you can tell how to live? There is danger lurking around every corner in this world, and that child was in no more...

The floating prison is part of the larger Rikers Island prison that is some 400 plus acres and holds 14,000 plus prisoners. It isn't exactly downtown [[it is technically part of the Bronx) but then...

Yep. All of the above.

Grew up in Texas where this is almost the state dish. I always use buttermilk. In fact, I marinate in buttermilk with a liberal dosing of Frank's Red Hot.

If I'm not mistaken, it is a pretty serious criminal offense to possess human remains.

Goodness, we know the family, I suppose eventually mysteries will be solved . . .

Oh for fucksake! Thanks to the inane melodrama of CSI the common folk are going to start inserting themselves as experts in forensic medicine. Everyone should go out and get a pair of David Caruso...

Yes, the Greek key is ubiquitous throughout classical art and architecture. Also, the Romans were not known for their artistic creativity. Most all painting, sculpture, and pottery of the Roman era...

Since when was Caesar Greek?

What are the best comic shops in the Detroit area? Especially for back issues and bargain bins?

People have been waging this pizza battle for years. New York vs. Chicago vs. Detroit etc. Pizza is as American as apple pie these days and it is as diverse as America. Simple solution, eat what you...

Have only driven by at 25 or 30 mph and at that speed it looks ready. I have never seen any activity inside tho. I want a butcher shop to which I can walk. A Woodward produce market would be even...

Yeah . . . I'm beginning to wonder if this is some kind of movie set, like the pork store in The Sopranos. It has looked ready to open for months and months, yet I have never seen any activity...
