Here's a story about a couple of innocent Canadians who were out for a Sunday drive discovering Downriver Detroit including the pleasures of Grosse Isle. But for all of the City of Wyandotte's desire to create a friendly downtown with trendy galleries and cafes, as well as the Wyandotte Street Art Fair, it was lost on them. The art fair [[July 8 - 11) finished the day before their visit. They had known that. Crews were taking down booths along Biddle Ave. After strolling around downtown and window shopping - and going into the only store that seemed open [[it was about noon) - they got back in their car to head downriver. They inadvertently turned on to Biddle because it seemed partly open. They drove toward Eureka Rd but it was barricaded. So they turned around and tried to find a side street. All of a sudden a large City of Wyandotte public works truck started driving towards them. They thought the truck was going to pass. But it stopped immediately in front of their car so that they could not drive further. It also kind of wedged them in so that to leave they had to make a couple of back-up manoeuvres to twist themselves out. There were two workers in the truck's cab. One, in the passenger seat, was laughing his head off. There was no attempt to communicate that the tourists were in the wrong place. The public servants' behaviour was bullying and intimidating. Also surprising was that, after sending e-mails to several city officials including the mayor and the person who oversees the art fair, there was no response. Not even an acknowledgement they had received the e-mails. Finally, after more than two weeks, a phone message was left at the office of Mayor Joseph R. Peterson referencing the e-mails and saying that no one had responded. That very same afternoon [[surprise surprise!) they received an e-mail from His Worship - rather grudging they thought - suggesting the street was closed and they should not have been there but that the complaint would be forwarded to the public works dept. This was July 28. They have heard nothing since. Hurray for Wyandotte!
