Pontiac the Next Royal Oak?

B. Both cities are worse off than we are. Yes there are bright spots, but on a whole the colleges and Cleveland Clinic are not enough of a draw.

Bwa ha ha ha ha. I love threads like this. We get to learn who gets out, and who doesn't.

Cleveland = not in bankruptcy court. There's a huge improvement right there. I could go on, but why kick a dead horse?

Back to the original question. Sure, why couldn't Pontiac be the next Royal Oak? All you need is a bunch of restaurants and bars--so many, such that it becomes "regional" in scope and poaches customers from other locales. I mean, isn't that the way "development" has been done in Southeast Michigan for decades?

Brooks Patterson already thinks Oakland County is the center of the known universe. Let's make Pontiac the center of that center!
