    There appear to be four videos on that page. For me, three of them spontaneously start playing at once and their sound tracks merge unintelligibly. By selecting and pausing two of the movies, the third can be heard.

    Just in case that helps others.

    I'm using IE8.

    Thanks for the link!

    There's your problem. Who still uses Internet Explorer? Join the Mozilla, Opera, or Chrome bandwagons quick -- unless you want to be stuck in 2001.

    Based on that poorly thought out reply... I would tend to agree....

    But really Gsgeorge... that was not one of your finest moments on DYES....

    ... or should we just chalk that one up to the "artistic temperament"??

    Johnny Knoxville is such a jack ass [[ha, get it?), but I really liked this video. It is nice that we have someone popular with younger generations trying to balance the views of places like Detroit. However, what really benefits Detroit and it's residents is reporting of facts, without adding in the opinion of the reporter, narrator, or author.

    From that point, you can move on to following individuals and walking in other's shoes. I, for example, have a blog that is biased, but also stresses that I a offering the readers a chance to walk in my shoes as an average father who is documenting the experience of moving into the city from the suburbs, and raise a family there [[urban pioneers is a better description than urban lifestyle). The idea here, was something I picked up from other bloggers, in that there are various problems in our society. To help understand those problems, we need many real documentaries and journals made available to promote a better understanding of what is going on and why, as well as uncovering solutions we may not otherwise see.

    By it's nature, DetroitYES with it's new format, really is a great tool to document and categorize those who blogs, journals, and documentaries. Still, it is a movement in it's infancy, and hopefully more people will continue to document their or other people journey.

    We are citizens and urban pioneers, a few braving the hardship and tending to the light of progress and knowledge, just like a few brave souls in the Dark Ages, or during the exploration of the Americas. The more people who participate, the faster we will reach an area near the ideals we set.

    Either you are satirizing yourself, or you possess more audacity than is decent and a sense of self-importance that exceeds even my own.
    Thing is, I'm usually just kidding. Clearly, you are serious.
    Although it seems that you should be up-graded to Critical, as goes with "Mass."

    I enjoyed that a lot. The film maker dug below the surface to exposethe huge ground level and underground cultural scene with which we have always been, and still are, blessed. I found the host charming with the classic slack-jaw wonderment I have seen in so man, first when they see the fabulous ruin and then when they see the fabulous culture and well spring of creativity we have.

    Larry Mongo was particularly entertaining.

    Watched all 3 videos and found alot of it cool and some of it dumb.
    Great choice of automobile for cruising Detroit.
    I'm not a huge fan of Johnny Knoxville but he did a nice job on this but he seemed kind of wimpy handling the theater.

    Am I the only person who can't STAND the term "critical mass"? I'm also not that fond of the term "walkable" or "creative class" either - even though I'm in that "demographic" [[another term I don't really like) as a university student in my twenties in a liberal arts program... Perhaps I'm the only one...

    Good series so far. I'm always glad when local artists get some exposure. This city has always produced incredible art and always will.

    Default Johnny Knoxville touring Detroit. Looking for positive signs!!

    Nice!! [[With Dutch subtitles.)
    Knoxville is toured around the city to show him the positive signs found in Detroit. Check out the rims of that car!!
    Hahhaa!!!! I must be one of those Dutch assholes!

    Mongo's on Griswold, the new plans around MCS, impressive stuff!

    Part two and three can be found here.

    Part two:
    -Urban exploration of the Easttown theater before it burned. Reminiscing the times when MC5, Iggy and Alice rocked that stage.
    -Motown. Martha Reeves tells her story.
    -Berry Gordy's Mansion.

    Part three:
    -Young folks coming back into the city.
    - Urban farming
    -Fisher Body, with a security guard writing down number plates...
    -Criticism about the perception in the media.
    -Russell Industrial.
    -Omnicorp
    -Northend studios
    -Inevitable Heidelberg.

    And then there's the bonus footage of Mr Mongo who made a, in retrospect, very bad financial descission of booting Kid Rock, Eminem and Proof from his joint.... Reminds me of Decca showing the door to the Beatles! Hahaha!

    Default Detroit Yes Video Palladium Productions

    This is part one of a three part video narrated by Johnny Knoxville, whoever that is, on the decay and resurgence of Detroit. It is more hopeful in nature than derogatory.
