Downtown was really hoppin' that weekend and it gave me some insight into how I'd imagine Detroit once was.
A thriving, happenin' city that gave us Motown music,
gritty rock and roll
and the Ford Mustang.
Not the dirty and abandoned city it is today.
It's as if the American Dream packed up
and moved out of Detroit.

Great Pic . . . says a lot.
Gorgeous and moving....
Really amazing photo
Thanks so much everyone! Detroit was such a great city and I think it could be again, but it's sad the way things have gone for Detroiters.
I just finished reading Middlesex, have you read that? It is set in Detroit and it gives a really good idea of that time of greatness followed by decline...love the picture.
Thanks! I haven't read Middlesex yet. It sounds like I should though. I'm intrigued by that city. Especially now that I live so close and visit as often as I do. Thanks for the suggestion. I've really slacked on my Hermit Book Club membership. AND they are reading my all time favorite book... The Poisonwood Bible. I just can't find the time to commit to a book club, no matter how much I want to.
