Yep, them rich folks are rolling out the plan. Illitch buys the Pistons, all that land by the Masonic Temple gets used. Notice the tearing down at Woodward & Warren. Yep, they left that nice bit of...

Would I use the light rail system? What for? It looks like the rich people got their plan together for Woodward. We've already been told property values will be going up. The people had no say in...

Coleman Young. Well, he was the guy who was quoted in the newspaper saying "m***** f***** on more than one occasion. Every year, more and more businesses closed their doors in the 1970s. I cannot...

The rest of the project will be privately funded. So if you can track down Mr. Privately you can ask him why it don't go farther. :)

It will gradually go up. Here's why: Rich people are buying up buildings and land by Masonic Temple. The people involved had to sign a "no talk" agreement. Half a billion for improvements at and...

I didn't know you were a psychologist :)

Hey, there are places I go that are safe and enjoyable. And where I can interact with people face to face.

I ride out that way at least three times a month. I used to enjoy walking down Woodward. But today? I don't think so. Especially not at night.

Like I said. People from the suburbs come in, drop...

Can somebody tell me who came up with the name "Metro Detroit"? The way I see it, you either live in the City of Detroit or you don't. There ain't no metro about it :)

I can't think of a single reason to hang out along Woodward. Back in the 1970s, people were walking along the street, you had Hudson's but Compuware? Not much for regular folks. Nope. I don't see it....

Yeah, I spotted a beauty from the 1950s with a T-tail just flying along.

There ain't no drones. People are too old to put up a fight nowadays.

Increase in property values from what? Thing is, people come in from the suburbs, go the ball game, leave some money behind and go back.

You mean an increase in property values on Woodward?

You folks still talking about this? Anybody remember the hype for the People Freaker [[Mover)? Now, where is it going to take you today? I cannot believe that anybody in charge in Detroit in the 70s,...

That is so messed up. The National Organization for Women used to say that men should stop treating women like sex objects. Well, where are they?

Tax dollars? For what? Strippers? Nope, call it...

Yeah, yeah. Tax it? Job one is to avoid paying any taxes. People will grow it themselves to avoid paying taxes. And if Big Business gets involved - avoiding paying taxes is job one.

I can hear...

Detroit was planned to fail. If you're poor, where else can you live? Somebody gonna say that the Detroit City Council watched businesses move out or shut down decade after decade and just kinda...

More people on dope. Is that what you want? I heard some dope fiend say the cops would be freed up to deal with "more important" crimes. Oh yeah? What about all the other drugs that would still be...

This is about the color of money and no other color. When Detroit started to go downhill in the 1970s [[you still had people on the sidewalks on Woodward), the plan was already in place. 1980s, 1990s...

Funny. You're sayin' the DEA is all about staying in business too. Looks like it's stayin' in business all the way around. You know who's got this figured out already? Organized crime. They got...

You don't like the DEA? I get it. I'll be voting against legalizing weed. I think the DEA got their facts straight. Illegal dope is bad for everybody. And I'm tellin' you. Nobody's gonna make any...

Greatest chance? How do you know that? GM got the streetcars out of the way and built buses. Nobody wanted to diversify anything. Just make sure the auto industry stands in the way of diversification...

Dude,

I still live in Metro Detroit. OK? I didn't move to Florida or nothin'.

I have seen proposals for light rail and other transportation schemes going back decades. I recall one such scheme being published in a Detroit magazine back when Detroit had such things.

I...

For a lot of years, I've read about how people need to be educated. How knowledge is power. We should be concerned about our neighbors and not give them one more reason to end up in rehab:
...

I'm just talking about what people are used to right now. How many times you think somebody gets shot and they come back for more?

People are gonna grow their own. It's that simple. It's...

The average person has no say in this. The rich come in and say we need light rail. For what?

What happened to the People Freaker ? mover? I remember when they were putting that together. And...
