I have found a lot of positive thinking Detroiters. They walk around smiling and saying nice things. I meet them at various events, some of them have careers working at place whose mission is doing great things in Detroit, some of them support the first group and some of them sit on the sidelines thinking positively.

The internet has been a big resource to locating the organizations that do positive Detroit, organizations such as Dig Downtown, D hive, Midtown Detroit, Avenue of Fashion Business District, Riverfront Conservancy, and many others. Stop roll call, will you call out others and lets recognize them.

There's even a website like Meetup.com where people form their own group with specific interest and they meet. I follow DNT, Detroit Drunken Historical Society, Detroit Indie Group, Detroit Lean Startup Circle and a few others.

I have attended this event at the Motorcity Casino Soundstage where people present their business idea in front of the audience and its telecast all round the world, [[what's the name of this event)

The Detroit Design Festival is huge and very impressive. Man, I was introduced to art galleries and installations that I didn't know existed.

And, there's this forum probably over 15 years old where some positive thinkers gather. You can post something and in minutes hundreds of people from around the world have viewed it and some second the motion or call for the question.

Also our print media are sources for highlighting positive thinkers, like Metro Times, Real Detroit, The New Monitor, and even Wayne State's South End. And, the 100 year old Detroit News and Free Press do some positive reporting.

Our Detroit television news stations do some positive reporting, Channel 7's Detroit 20 20, Channel 4's weekend segments and Channel 2's weekend morning reports which last hours, plus each got website links.

Maybe being a beaten dog, gave rise to a mean dog who is taking bites of the underdog to become the big dog.

Forgive me for the plug, couldn't help it.
