One of the good things about living in Detroit was getting to regularly read his work. <BR/>Poor Detroit, so many good things, so many good people, so many people working hard to make it a better place and yet it just can't seem to turn the corner. <BR/><BR/>by the way, there's a typo at the start of your piece, "16 years wroth".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813006112999998990.post-20662145325265356062009-01-13T07:29:00.000-08:002009-01-13T07:29:00.000-08:00Thanks for your comments, Tom.

Someone once questioned how I could live/work in such a violence filled city and I replied that I had never seen a gun. That person was surprised.<BR/><BR/>Actually, something this is interesting, the only time I have seen a gun used in an act of violence was in Tokyo, Japan, which has very strict gun control laws.<BR/><BR/>Detroit has its challenges as does the auto industry (in which I worked for 20 years), but both are getting undeserved criticism.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00495298985859189195noreply@blogger.com
