Who else is tired of having to drive everywhere we need to go in Metro Detroit ?

I'm really interested to hear which part of Troy had the rash of home invasions. That's the first I've hear about that.

Don't know what part, it was on Channel 7 News either yesterday or Sunday.

Back on topic, I watched a movie recently called 'Contested Streets' on the Sundance Channel. You really see how Detroit is about 100 years behind some of the bigger cities throughout the world after watching this movie.

Summary:

"New York City prides itself as the world's most vibrant and dynamic metropolis. Unfortunately, it is also plagued by gridlock, noise, exhaust-filled air and a transit system that favors cars and trucks. Filmmaker Stefan Schaefer examines the city's past to reveal how this came to pass. CONTESTED STREETS offers contrasting lessons from three European cities - Paris, London and Copenhagen - which successfully introduced alternatives to limit automobile congestion, promote public transportation and facilitate walking and bicycle use."
