Hey, I pinged you. There's many, many ways to get ahold of me outside of here. Respond to my notes I've sent you.

Again, our region's worst enemies are ourselves.
I've heard his sentiment a thousand times, and worse, and they're shortsighted, not realizing we're all in this together. I'm hearing lots of...
I think this is great, and I'd do it. I'd love the idea of Belle Isle being a State Park, I hope Bing with Council's help thinks/does something like that as the city can't afford it anymore.
As...
So I just got this email from SMART - talking about a detour "due to the Lafayette demolition project" from 9p Friday night until 9a Saturday morning.

This is much more about BBDO getting the short end of the bankruptcy stick than anything else - and there's quite a few other agencies that may be leaving/closing but it's hearsay so I shan't repeat....
Good luck in Ohio, good sir. Cleveland's a good town - been there on a business a few times [[including one day waking up and going to Cleveland for a road trip).
Make sure to stop by Tower City -...
SWMAP, it's because it's not the buildings, it's the culture, as you probably have already figured out. Education is at such a low priority for poor families when it should be top - but they're too...
Every politician's hands are dirty as hell. It's the nature of the game, Kraig. I don't live under any suppositions or illusions of any of that. Show me an honest politician and I'll show you someone...
Undoubtedly, with 58% of the vote, Dave Bing has his mandate. It wasn't even close, though Barrow did admirably for being underfunded and understaffed [[and Bing didn't campaign, really, except for...
I'm disappointed Cockrel didn't keep his presidency - however, seems like Gary Brown has his priorities in the right place [[safety, safety, safety). Problem with Cockrel is that he's such a hard...
Of course, there's shenanigans in Washington - however, as you read on, part of the issue is yet again, since we can't cooperate as a region, we put ourselves in danger of shooting ourselves in the...
Locke09,
[[RATHOLE WARNING: EXPLAINING SCHOOL FUNDING FOR OTHERS)
Proposal S is written the way it is because of the fubar State of Michigan funding system. Follow the rabbit hole written by our...
Conducting city business SHOULD be more business-like and professional. Many poor decisions have been made from a financial standpoint. I won't say they're wrong, because the city officials'...
Tom Barrow gets elected you can kiss regional cooperation good-bye. It'd be seen to most as the city's not serious about turning the city around.
I have nothing to add to this potential pissing match thread of "my neighborhood is less worse than yours" which is about as high school argument as you can have.
However, Johnlodge, that was...
There's a lot more not good news coming for the Rencen coming down the pike.
Although GM will most likely [[I never believe what a company the size of GM says verbatim, as "conditions change") stay...
English - have you ever lived in another region?
I don't mean this as a knock against Detroit or the region, but the first-hand life experience is so valuable. I can't tell you how many faux...
How about instead of handing out incentives, make the tax structure competitive as a whole? Oh wait, that'd require even more real reform, and the unions would never sign on to it, even though long...
I have slightly more than mild alarm [[what would they say at the Thai restaurant, Mild Plus?)
Some ideas:
Unemployment in the black population in Detroit is in the neighborhood of 30%, double...
You know what the bullshit of this story is?
That I've met plenty of pastors when going around the northern parts of the state who carry guns. And they'd tell you they're defending themselves and...
R8RBOB,
I don't know. I've heard some nasty rhetoric both ways about OC vs. Detroit proper.
I've heard both sides talk about the other should be torched. How the other lives in a disgusting...
R8RBOB:
6 White, 2 African-Americans, 1 Asian-american.
As to the transplant thing, two are for sure [[one of those is from another country, I want to say Germany). The others I believe are from...
Oddly I just had a conversation with 9 young, 20-something creatives, 5 women, 4 guys. They're designers, marketers - and where do they all live? Ferndale, Troy and Royal Oak.
Seriously. I was...
To be honest, Oakland County is way more like Silicon Valley than Detroit proper. As someone who has actual experience with VC, tech and the like, the valley is a mostly a big ass industrial park...
I would be highly surprised if they chose the city of Detroit from what I know. Many if not the vast majority of foreign brands and suppliers have their Detroit offices in Auburn Hills and Troy, and...
