Tranquility gone
Decency ebbs all around
Should have sold years ago

Darn, there will probably be fewer Darwin Awards and Rexroth nominees for the Fourth this year...

I must say that I'm happy someone has finally corrected the Forman Mills commercial with Dequindre comically mispronounced as "dee-KIN-der."

I won't say that Meijer is as bad as Wal-Mart, yet, but I don't understand Meijer's strategy at all. It seems to be aiming for Wal-Mart quality at prices noticeably higher than Kroger. And in the...

The home builders and leaders of Livingston and Genesee counties thank Oakland County for making it easier to send "excess" OC jobs and residents up north and west ;). Hazel Park and Oak Park, among...

No. Who cares that national policies have greatly diminished metro Detroit as an international manufacturing powerhouse and the middle class jobs that go with it. We've got to get to the bottom of...

Like our other "-stan nation" and oil producing friends we should celebrate Canada's birthday milestone by liberating those southern poutine pounders from their glorious oil! With Canadians being of...

Maybe Sheneneh finally scared Martin and the other tenants away?

Please quote what I stated and do not splice my quote to argue against your own straw man. You edited out [[among several lines) the part where I stated that many local dealers are unemployable and...

That was neither stated nor implied in my post. I was essentially arguing that drug decriminalization isn't the panacea to end violence in Detroit, as some posters were arguing.

And then what?

State lotteries didn't end the number game. Even if we ended the war on drugs I doubt that we would see that much of a decrease in crime. Basically, drug legalization will remove...

Sumas:

I do not believe that we disagree on the importance of giving kids opportunities for a vibrant future and I applaud your efforts. However, in the context of this thread, I was simply...

Detroit wouldn't have as many troubled neighborhoods if half the population weren't functionally illiterate and unemployable. Hell, I believe the neighborhoods would find investment and fix...

Oy vey! Back when she was Corporation Counsel she had problems sticking to the limits of her office. Give her the office of Deputy Mayor and she may forget about the first half of that title. If...

I was "The Nerd" long before Snyder came onto the political scene.



Don't laugh. Although our southern neighbor has largely abandoned stamped plates too, it has reserved a very special plate...

Count me as one who misses the simpleness of the old blue plates and maybe a few options [[military or university notations on the plate). I cannot even fathom placing one of those garish,...

This seems appropriate to leave here. Apparently hipsters are flocking to Detroit from all over the world. The pictures certainly show a fun and interesting road trip from SFO, but with many...

Hence why in the first sentence, which you omitted, I noted that the allegedly bad cops [[who are neither poor nor illiterate, but are experience investigating crimes) should be able to pull something...

One would think that cops with decades of experience could pull off an armed robbery without getting caught? It's something that illiterate, high school dropouts, get away with in this city far too...

Mike Dugeon, 30, first registered to vote only last year. He couldn't even be bothered to vote in the last presidential election, for which he registered. He is clearly a pawn for some political...

At 312 years-old Detroit's motto rings especially true given recent events - Speramus Meliora; Resurget Cineribus - We hope for better things; it shall rise from the ashes!

Obviously he needed to swim back to Windsor to find an unlocked bathroom. Drunk Canadians may stupidly swim across a very active river, but they have too much pride to piss in it or, god forbid,...

I can't imagine that she would be so stupid to pull something like that. Dallas is not Detroit and I imagine that the Kilpatrick name gets no or negative recognition in that area. Even in Detroit,...

I wonder why she couldn't hold onto her job at the recreation center? It seems like it would be an easy enough job for her.

I wonder if the guy in the article was swimming from Windsor to Detroit because [[1) he couldn't find a place to pee in Windsor, or [[2) he wanted to pee on a building in Detroit because we're already...
