Detroit Is Not a Ruin…really?

[toby]

Detroit HAS a reputation that lives in infamy, but as was mentioned in these forums a few months ago, ASLA never recognized the depression.

Detroit is used by critics (mostly outsiders) in hit pieces – whether it’s about business, unions, city officials, or its citizens.  Worse is when said critics (again, mostly outsiders) do hit pieces on the efforts to revitalize the city.  When some people see balloons, they only think about popping them.

However, local critics have a far better vantage point.  I found via google search: blogspot detroit, a few interesting, quick, and not always rosy articles at  http://fadeddetroit.blogspot.com/, http://www.detroitblog.org/, http://thinkdetroit.blogspot.com/, and http://warrendale.blogspot.com/.  Unfortunately, they don’t have the audience that national publications do.
