I guess you would've had to have been around for the Young years to appreciate Archer. Coleman did an outstanding job of alienating suburbanites and white people in general. Detroit's exodus increased, as did animosity towards Detroit. Archer was able to create an environment of cooperation between different factions, and started providing much neglected City services to residents. On the flip side he did not support renovating or saving Tiger Stadium @ all, and he single-handedly wiped out Rivertown. He was very approachable and a welcome change.
