Oh, unlike Chicago, which is divided into 77 clearly demarcated neighborhoods, Detroit is not. <br /><br />I've been hearing Detroit is on the rebound since the 1980s. Wrong. Outside of Midtown, New Center, Downtown, and Corktown, it's getting worse. People are leaving, not moving in. Houses are collapsing, not being built there. Is Dan Gilbert (Quicken Loans) building office space in Grixdale? Grixdale Farms? Delray? No.<br /><br />Let's say you have a malignant tumor. Calling it something else or ignoring it won't make it go away. Sorry, the truth hurts. <br /><br />In Chicago something similar is happening right. Mayor Rahm Emanuel is touting the return of the NFL Draft to Chicago next week and the possible construction of the George Lucas Museum on the lakefront while much of the rest of the city rots. Detroit Mayor Coleman Young had his People Mover in the 1980s and Roman Gribbs and Henry Ford II pushed the RenCen in the 1970s. Neither slowed the decline and fall.Marathon Pundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05994493157706065371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10143237.post-61360406960564081872016-04-22T08:37:21.423-05:002016-04-22T08:37:21.423-05:00I assume you are not aware you were in the Grixdal...I assume you are not aware you were in the Grixdale neighborhood and not Grixdale Farms? Based on the tone and skew of the few articles I've read on your blog I'm also assuming it doesn't really matter. <br /><br />As hard as it is to hold on and try and rebuild from this city's devastation... on top of it there are perversion perpetuators like you. Glad you got your porn shots.<br /><br />However it is some comfort to know that for the rest of Internet Eternity this will prove (to those who care) you most likely don't know what your talking about on any given subject. Everything you publish will be seen as being suspect in accuracy and of a questionable slant. <br /><br />Good Job.C2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02156254402272888307noreply@blogger.com
