Well, the title kinda says it all.

Some of the forum-ers here are elderly and have seen more of Detroit than the rest of us.

The rest may be seeing a resurgence in Downtown and its surrounds, never any real sisterly/brotherly 'connection' with Windsor/Ontario, an outdated view or reputation of Detroit by outsiders, slow progress on the Book Tower or the MCS building and the Packard plant.

But that's all been said before.

So, aside from all that, when was your fave era/time in the D? And why?
