This appeared on the front page of today's print edition of the Washington Post. Given all of the hackneyed, doom-and-gloom articles written about Detroit, I actually like this article.

Although it acknowledges the city's obvious problems, it also mentions the pride and perseverance that exist in the city. Most of the typical tripe written about Detroit fails to mention that. I especially like the last paragraph of the article.
