I think you should keep the wife from watching!

While we are suggesting the impossible, how about somebody give me a billion dollars tax free!

Aybody read the article in the Freep - "One of the sole survivors" and "less decrepit-y". Sheesh!

Enclosed is the Freep article. I have read it a couple times. I could not find sole survivor or decrepit anywhere in the article.

Read the captions on the pictures.

Geez, what a smarmy attitude.

Nothing like getting a sucker punch with your French kiss! What? Only clueless out-of-towners need apply at the Freep? Genius caption-writer obviously has no idea how much this means to Detroit, our history, and our once-thriving entrepreneurial culture. The rest of the country slams us enough, thank you, we don't need it from our own local media.

As Ms. Curits has a budget-conscious perspective on rehabs, I hope she doesn't cut corners on this one. [[Yes, I watch her show.) Nevertheless, any Brush Park restoration is good news indeed. My late Hamtramck-born bricklayer dad would have loved to have seen this one.

In short: YAY! Can't wait until this airs!

I'm not really sure what's wrong with the captions. It is one of the decrepit sole survivors of that neighborhood. That is the story of Brush Park. That's why this is big for Detroit.
