OMG these are NOT Detroit cows eating Detroit grass! Therefore this is NOT a Detroit manufacturing operation! It is simply shameless marketing. The 50 new employees [[with another 10 on the way) must feel really bad to be a part of this.

They'll give you leather, alright, but there's strings attached!

One of my friends who is really anti-gentrification pissed and moaned about it earlier. He's white, and from Dearborn. He's also going to WSU for his PHD I think. I know he has a masters from LSE. So yeah. That's who has been barking about this.

Your angst is misdirected. I was simply attempting to work an idiomatic expression and some levity into the thread. It appears other posters were doing the same. Would you like me to take your comment literally?

Me, anti-Detroit business? Now that's really funny!
