Some old mill towns outside Pittsburgh decided to tear down huge plots of dilapidated old abandoned buildings about 15 years ago. What they never considered was all the rats living in these buildings.

This is the automobile center of the USA.

I have connections to all levels of the industry.

The difficult can usually be done in a working day, the impossible may take a week.

Etc,etc...

I am stubborn, and refuse to walk away from my home - family.

I think this might apply to Detroiters and Angelenos as well...

heres some good news, while you are underwater, being eaten by rats, and waiting 2 days for an ambulance full of gang bangers that will shoot you dead, you can enjoy some quality beer.

Something good is brewing in down-on-its-luck Detroit. - chicagotribune.com

Alright Roy, I have a question: If someone who never visited Detroit before had a choice of spending a day in the Motor City or slamming a car door on their fingers, which would you recommend?

Can always live near Detroit, but not IN Detroit....its 2014. People live in other countries and stay connected to things.

I don't even like visiting the place....for the auto show. I wish they'd relocate it to Chicago or even here in GR.
