"Glee" in Detroit

[dtowncitylover]

Now THAT's a good idea!

It basically went the way of this thread.

[canuck]

You should put up a statue of liberty in the buff, then Detroit would get a lot of attention. Dont get me wrong; I like the Ice house and Tyree Guyton's stuff. It's well... It's very Detroit, like watching an episode of hoarders. That's it! Howsabout getting hoarders to do a two pack detroit episode?

[Michigan]

This thread was dead before it began.

Michigan, one of my first posts here was about how Detroit should have a monument that could be seen from Windsor and Belle Isle like a Statue of Liberty or a Gateway Arch. Lesson learned never to talk about half-baked ideas. Sorry, but it's the truth.

Wis this idea half baked?

Ummm...yeah...in my naive mind then that it would be totally fesible!

I don't know about the idea, but I think you're more than half baked. Did you just get back from Gannon's place?

You guys need to do some research on the Gateway arch. It was very controversial and strongly opposed. But it got done, and now it is recognized around the world. Why can't it happen in Detroit? Because you suburbanites and self hating city folk don't want to see success in the city. If someone succeeds here, then you can not blame place for your failure.

These things can happen here because they do happen all over the country, and the world. If you want to create jobs, hey- how about you start building this monument and employ thousands of people immediately. The riverview is already empty out and desolate- the land is already vacant and waiting- get to it.

But no, you would rather sit in Birmingham and tsk tsk about the city that is ruining your property values. Have you seen Hung? The doctor loses money on Wall Street not Woodward Avenue.

Yeah, let's do it. Here's some ideas.

A giant ring of kielbasa across the Detroit river. Oh wait, we DO have a stargate..

The Collossus of Coleman, straddling the river. Of course, if classically dressed in a toga, quite the upshot from passing freighters.

Getting a matching fist to compliment the Joe Louis Fist. Of course, this one has the middle digit sticking up. Compliments of L. Brooks...

Congratulations, you've nailed it right on the head! You've come up with what countless politicians have not been able to do to fix things for many years now.

Let's build a giant arch on the river. And we can even have the mystic choo-choo train that is going to save Detroit run over the arch. And since there is no money to pay for such a farce perhaps you will fund the thing. Maybe they will even name it after you!

Once this is done then suddenly everything will be all hunky-dorey in the city again. Supermarkets will rush to the city to open shop. There will be a Whole Foods market and a Cheesecake Factory downtown. All of the empty homes will be fixed up and occupied again with familes composed of Mom, Dad, and 2.7 smililng kids. New home construction will skyrocket. MCS will be cleaned up and thriving again. The Packard plant will re-open. The schools will be world class. There will be no more corruption in city hall. There will be no more litter. People will respect their city and one another. And the bestest thing of all, a bunch of twerpy kids from Hollywood will come to Detroit to sing songs for some dumb TV show.

What a wonderful world it would be..........................

Shame on you! How can you mention the Detroit Cheesecake Factory without mentioning the House of Blues?

What would you expect from an awful suburban resident sitting around tsk tsking about how Detroit is ruining my property values?

Scary really. The anger and sadness of small little people who have no vision. Laugh now, but I will bet your the first in line at House Of Blues when it does open a casino in town. Don't kid yourself, Detroit is far from dead.

I don't recall saying Detroit was dead.

And you won't see me in line at the mythical "House of Blues Casino" nor any other casino. I don't gamble. I work too hard for my money to waste it in a casino.

I also am neither angry nor sad about anything. If anything I am quite amused by the very idea of your farcical suggestion.

What is really scary is someone whose tinfoil hat is on just a wee bit too tight posting ideas such as yours on the internet. But hey, I'm all for free speech so everyone has a right to say what is on their mind. Please continue posting your ideas. Everyone needs humor in their daily lives.

Cheers to you!

No, cheers to you, mate!

This is a serious issue. Why can't we have a sit - com based in Detroit, that origionated in Ohio, but was written in LA ?
It only makes sense.

[Michigan]

God, it's noy a sitcom. Maybe if you kept up with culture you would understand. Sorry it isn't MC5 and Iggy making you all excited.

[Gistok]

Holly crap... I just wasted 15 minutes checking out Youtube Glee episodes, because I wasn't aware this was teenage fodder...

Somehow I wouldn't use "Glee" and "culture" in the same sentence.... going back to PBS now for some real culture...

Come on now Michigan, the adults are trying to have a conversation here. Why don't you go to your room and play a game of Dungeons and Dragons or play with your Star Wars action figures. Or better yet, why don't you read your comic books.

If you're quiet maybe I'll bring you some popcorn in a little bit.

You know, DC, for some reason it never occurred to me that this was a kid. I just thought it was someone who was "intellectually challenged." It all makes so much more sense now. Thanks!

[DC48080]

It could be an intellectually challenged kid. Evidence would suggest this to be the case.

Speaking of intellectually challenged kids, maybe we could get these idiots on the Detroit episode of Glee!



It is stuff like this that makes me wonder if there is any hope at all.

What's wrong with playing with Star Wars figures?

Aww, you're special. Don't let anyone tell you that you're not.

Your jealousy shines through! Lego bricks are an avocation to thousands of talented individuals. Detroit happens to have a very active Lego population. Sorry if it's not cool enough for Romulus.

Romulus? I don't live in Romulus. That attempted shot missed it's mark big time! Anyhow, what do you have against Romulus?

How did we transition from your Star Wars dolls to Legos?

Lego population? What is the Lego population of Detroit as per the last census?

Do said Legos watch Glee?
