Detroit is a mess anyway from the mayor to the council. to the crack houses, you can have the whole mess. they should rope it off. and keep the rubush in.

your right about that. and its good to see someone admit the city is dead, do you think it has any thing to do with the Mayor and City Council>

oh come on jerry, detroit isnt all that bad..where else can you drive and see so many buildings on vandyke and mound rd burned out..Black folks standing on the corner all dressed up and nowhere to go, the most ugliest hookers and cops enforcing the no cell phone law while they talk on there cell phone.

HHHHmmmm... maybe scrapping copper?

speedbuggy, your right on point about the police officers on their cell phone. It make me wonder how they can even pay attention to whats happening around them for holding a conversation pretty amazing.

i dont understand why people are always so closed minded... but yet at the same time people just loved the negativities that are around... yes, some parts of detroit are ghetto looking and there are some bad people there... but that does not mean that it's a crap hole... why not think of the good in things??? and how come when the word "DETROIT" gets sopken, people automatically think about all the black folks that live there and the abandoned house/ buildings to the drugs on the street??? why not ever once think about something good??? LOOK AT IT THIS WAY FOR ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO THINKS DETROIT IS A CRAP HOLE... if you feel and think that so much, why don't you go live in a third world country??? when you walk outside and all you see are bugs and flies buzzing around, dried up dirt everywhere, and your house is made from sticks and leaves... you tell me which world/ city you would rather live in then!!!!!

Did you say go live in a third world county? If you take a good long look at this country you will start to see a third wold country. Our rights are being taking away at an alarming rate, the government people need to start running the country and stay out of our personnel lives. As far as Detroit goes, it is a good city, it just needs a few cans of paint. If the neighborhoods looks good, the bad guys will go else where. Instead of passing out cheese, pass out a few gallons of paint. I live in the suburbs but stll like Detroit.

Speedbuggy49 If you live in the suburbs you should come into the city and see the wonderful things that are going on here in Detroit. And black people are not the only people that live in this city. Our city is ethically diverse and we're all friendly (with the exception of a few foolish nuts but that's everywhere)However if your prejudice to any race of people just stay away from us because that has been image that we have been trying desperately to get away from for years.

I was so hurt and disappointed when I found out that the fountain had been stripped. But I was advised not to take it personally, thieves will take advantage whenever the opportunity arises. The police has a regular route on the isle so you have to wonder how the opportunity was open. Crime is everywhere, drugs too. Its not just in Detroit. Detroit has many jewels, if you just take a look. You don't have to take a hard look either. I hope the City can find a way to replace the copper with something less inviting to thieves.
