  • I agree, Mellow. This is a non story. This would be really bad if Cass Tech was no longer there. I thought this was the case until I saw the last frame. Granted, Detroit is BAAAAAD! I was a resident there when I went to college at CCS. Detroit is my “adopted hometown”. It was bad then. Didn’t think it could get worse. There’s a lot of blame to go around. Start with the riots in the 60s. Followed with Mayor Coleman A. Young (and the A stands for…..?) who was mayor for life. The people with the pride and the money flew to the suburbs so fast! Detroit did have “all its eggs in one basket” with the automobile biz but that didn’t give the RESIDENTS a free license to pillage and thieve! I wonder why this feature didn’t show the J.L.Hudson building, Crowley’s, Winklemann’s, Michigan Theater, Michigan Central Station, Tiger Stadium or many, many other stores and hotels in a once vibrant downtown?
