Can you name something that makes you feel Detroit is on a comeback
There's a lot of talk among Detroiters and even in national and international news reports that Detroit is making a comeback.
Is there one construction job that has happen or a news announcement that makes you believe in the comeback?
Is there a building to be built or renovation that should happen that would convince you if you're not there yet?
Just asking you know what I have done.
Would Not Send My Dog To DPS
The dysfunctional and crooked school system called DPS would turn off any family considering moving to Detroit. The Yuppies are great, and have turned the ghost town known as downtown, into a promising area. Midtown is hot as well – except Spain elementary. Attracting families is not on the horizon; families will never move to Detroit – en masse – as long as the public schools are decrepit, crooked, and seem to hire their administrators right out of the parole office.

They don't seem to have a very high threshold as far as ethics or integrity is concerned, he might have a shot.

In addition, there are several great high schools - Cass Tech, Renaissance, Detroit School of Arts, Communication & Media Arts
Renaissance High is a shining light - Star - in the city of Detroit. I'm not just speaking of the local or state level, I'm talking nationally. Renaissance is an excellent school, as is Cass Tech, however comparing the two schools side by side, Renaissance scores much higher [[almost double in some rankings) than Cass Tech. Cass Tech is another great school, but by far Renaissance is firmly in 1st place - Bravo.
The majority of the other schools in DPS did not do so well, however, I would like to see clean, brightly lite classrooms, with sanitary bathrooms that are completely functional, in a building that has adequate supplies, and is safe and structurally sound, prior to me ranking, or criticizing any students.
