Mike Duggan is doing a fabulous job as Detroit's mayor. Really. Yes, I know he's a Democrat.

The principal undertaker for the Motor City was Coleman Young, Detroit's mayor from 1974-1994. Detroit's spiral downwards can be traced to the 1950s, the 1967 riots hastened the collapse, but Young, a former communist. embalmed what was once a jewel of urban America.
