This has to be one of the best posts on here in awhile.
I was talking about this with family over Thanksgiving; we were talking about how nice some of the neighborhoods are in Detroit [[Corktown, Boston Edison, etc.), but you would never know it from the commercial street that they are hidden behind. Another prime example of this is the grocery store on Saint Aubin and Warren, in Midtown. Inside, the food is fresh, the store is spotless, and is very well kept. They are every bit as good as Farmer Jack was, or Kroger is... on the inside. On the outside the place is a dump. It's not even just that this grocery store is of suburban style, it is that the outside looks run-down, out of date, and unkept. It makes it look horribly unkept, and probably repels many would-be customers.
