I do not live in MI, but if I did, I'd spent the day around the Fox / Comerica where the media hung out covering the GOP debate last night.
At least one media host commented on how beautiful the Fox was last night.
From what I saw, the media parked at Comerica [[Comerica was the background for a lot of media interview shots).
Yeah, they're calling it the GOP Showdown in Motown!
Click photos in lower area of the link to see the set up inside the Fox - nice use of double flat screens:

OF COURSE FOR THE MOST PHOTOS, including some good interior shots of the beautiful Fox Theater, protestors etc. Dailymail UK always delivers:

I'm glad that the GOP front-runners were able to tackled pressing policy topics such as the size of Donald Trump's penis. [[no, I'm not joking, this was discussed)
Amazing in 1998 and 2016 we, in an era of diversity, we have discussed Dem [[Clinton) and GOP [[Trump) penises...Quote:

The obituaries proclaiming the death of Detroit as a nationally relevant city were definitely premature...Quote:

True. The circus doesn't come to every town.Quote:

That pic with the Republican seal on HockeyTown --
Pure NEW Michigan / Detroit
I bet someone got some special special in their gift basket -- that's a flag-plant if I ever saw one.
But, I guess ya got it give it up to the Westside - they've finally struck a death knell on Detroit actual. And they finally dance in their wooden shoes with glee to the chants of the wicked Detroit Bitch is dead.
Can't wait for all of the nifty fights we're going to have over keeping the only handful of women clinics open.
And all of the bakers not baking.
Ottawa County Sheriff is already branding tax-payer funded assets with "In God We Trust" -- coming to a squad car near you!!
Laugh it up, fuzzball --- don't think that can't happen, then I've got a Detroit school district I can make you EM of.
Did you think in 2006 of a situation where government suspended Democracy in a major U.S. city, short of armed domestic rebellion or Al-Queada?
Will Gulliver wake up and throw off the binding strings of the little cloggers?
I am still surprised that your comments-or still the protests-did not morph into a repeat of July 1967.Quote:

I tried as much as I could to ignore the debate itself and just look at the gorgeous Fox. LOL
While I often disagree with you, I am in total agreement here. Kasich's agenda really is quite right wing, but by comparison with the other clowns he appears centrist. At least he doesn't have the crazed personality traits of the others.Quote:

Detroit didn't exactly come off well in the democratic debate. A picture of abandonment, apparently used by Clinton, was shown by CNN. The crumbling, rat infested schools were mentioned several times but never was the term "comeback city" mentioned.
