I'm wondering why Detroit? A lot of the same issues plaguing it are also found in Toledo and thats a whole lot closet to BGSU than Detroit.

Regardless Detroit's abandonment is a very large subject that has been studied to death. No one ever comes up with the correct answers to solve it. Good luck. You will find contrarian opinions to just about any suggestion that you have.

Sometimes I think that Detroit is in such bad shape because of the attitudes of its biggest supporters. Everyone thinks that their idea or approach is the only one that can help. This is true from everything from what to preserve or how to move people and goods.

When you're here drink the water. Its the best! Somehow we never talk about how good we have it simply because of it. We also have the best farmer's market, but no one ever talks it up, they just complain that there are no Kroger or Walmart.
