Anyone catch the NBC Nightly News tonight [[Sunday January 31st). They did a story on Detroit being the worst hit city in this current crisis. While discussing how bad it is in Detroit they used the half demolished "Lafayette Bvilding" as the the back drop of the bleak times in the city. I believe this building was closed way before this recession started. Just one more slam on the city. They also did a drive by that showed a block of old vacant houses/buildings. Dollars to donuts that these also were closed/vacant long before the recession.
