look, i get the reasons WHY they had to do what they did, but there was no discussion of that. You're telling me that the fact that there is no factory space that can work with denim in 135 square miles of a city built on industry shouldn't raise an eyebrow or two? that should be part of the discussion about the massive problems facing the city. Multiple times it was mentioned they needed to go to China to get machines, but no mention of having to go to Sterling Heights to get a factory. Was this a news story or a puff piece? I didn't watch the whole thing, its dvr'd.
I did see that Bob Ritchie made an appearance. Is he going to discuss his "made in Detroit" label? I'm betting he didn't mention the part about moving it to Warren. Are we going to get a soliloquy about how bad-ass Webberville is?
The thing I found ironic was that from what the segment showed, they [[like bob) could have been in Cleveland. There was nothing "detroit" about the stuff except that they used the auto industry and a gritty image as fashion and marketing inspiration ...that and the closest they came to Detroit in the segment was Maple road.
Ok, but again, this wasn't a story about stuff made in the USA, this was a show called "Detroit in Overdrive". More power to the guys in making millions... I hope they do, but the segment was a bit like making an "Imported from Detroit" commercial for a company that is 51% Italian with it's American HQ in Auburn Hills. It rings a bit false.It seems everybody bitches about not being able to buy items produced in the USA, but are unwilling to support the companies that are trying
