I encourage everyone to read this interesting NYT piece on Nashville, which is where Detroit's Jack White and Kid Rock have moved. It characterizes Nashville as a booming tier 2 or 3 American city – which makes Detroit, what, tier 4 or 5? Not good. We have a lot of catching up to do. Getting Oakland and Macomb to bankroll trains to nowhere is the least of the region's concerns.

When did Kid Rock move there? I thought he bought a mansion in Indian Village a while back.
