Mildred, I have to add, I grew up in Cincinnati so we always made fun of Cleveland, mostly because of sports rivalries. I never visited until I was in a wedding there years ago, and I actually liked that city a lot – some smart planning was going on at the time and the city had improved greatly. Hope it spreads to Detroit. I’m finding it really interesting to watch.

I’d say “heartless” is a better name for that nasty person. FYI (that means “for your information”) Detroit’s river has never burned, and the lakes (the Great Lakes) are just fine. You’re getting your cities mixed up. that was Cleveland 30-40 years ago, and that river, the Cuyahoga, has been cleaned up. I’m glad to see everyone else with a positive attitude about the future of Detroit, or any city for that matter. It will take imaginative people who know how to work hard, but it’s happening in so many of the cities that seemed down and out. Not negative losers. I’m sure none of these cities will miss Heartless’ kind of attitude that sucks the air out of any progress.

I also have heard of the rising number of hands-on urban farming enthusiasts in Detroit and it makes me sad that they’re in for a lot of tearing down and destruction in the near future. Hope to see Motor City’s former ardor in the next couple of years!

With the current improvements being undertaken by the residents (with a community of artists involved), I believe Detroit will gain back its glory in the near future. Living in a city with an urban touch is the lifestyle I’m dreaming of.

fromtheheart, the thing that interests me is how people are planning for this city that has seen brighter days, and working to make it better.
