with this being a day to give thanks, I decided to start a thread about some things we are thankful for here in the city and region. Now this is meant to be positive, so please try to limit the negativity. I'll start.
I'm thankful Lions football every thanksgiving [[despite the losing) I'm also thankful for the fact that Detroit has a mayor with integrity, even if I don't always agree with him. I'm also thankful Midtown, and southwest Detroit seems to be catalysts in Detroit's turnaround !
Ford Motor Company
Grateful for Fords too, in many ways.
But um, not that Ford guy who owns the Lions. Please call Mr. Illitch. :D
Grateful that we have a state of such great beauty to enjoy and talented individuals who stay here rather than move to LA
As a Ford salaried early retiree, I'm grateful Ford didn't have to go the Chapter 11 route. I'm also thankful there are locals who aren't blowing out of town but are sticking it out, and that talented individuals [[e.g., Mulally) are willing to come to town to help fix things.
I'm thankful for the Red Wings [[positive) because the Lions are, well......the Lions [[negative).
the rich music, arts, and culture scene
Water. I'm thankful for our water.
Send some. Please.Quote:

I'm thankful for the fact that no one from the Palin clan lives in Detroit.
Thankful for people like Roger Penske and Pete Karmonos. Sure they have given generously to Kwame Kilpatrick in his time of need and legal trouble, but that's alright.
