I think its a great piece. Embrace the bankruptcy!
I loved this line:
"I can't tell you exactly what Detroit is going to be like by the time I give this presentation, but I can tell you one thing for sure -- it's not going to be the way it was."
Lon ago Mayor Coleman Young told all the crook, and thieves to 'hit 8 Mile Rd.' Now white folks are hitting Downtown Detroit.
Now let's just wait a month and by then we'll all be watching "move to Detroit" commercials during all the local news programs. :D
Well, the bar was set pretty low with this campaign...

Where did his lips go?
Detroit is like a pioneer town. A good time to move into the mid-city.Quote:
