The Observation Deck

Spent the weekend up in Detroit, and MAN! do I feel beter about Cleveland now.

miles and miles of boarded up buildings every where you go. I-75 completely shut down for construction. It wasn't pretty.

It made Cleveland look like a thriving metropolis.

yikes.

You can't be talking about Detroit Michigan. They have a football statdium, a baseball stadium, a basketball stadium, a convention center, casino's, high taxes and a large and well paid government workforce.

Which Detroit did you visit?

it is like the excavated remains of Pompeii. Only without the Ash. People left Detroit fast enough to leave behind desks and tools, magnificent train stations, and four star hotels. Cleveland was not spectacularly wealthy enough to contrive such an exodus.

America has shitboxed its cities and towns very thoroughly. Much more thoroughly than the Soviets managed with old Russian cities. must be that higher productivity and efficiency. Though as a command economy the Soviet Union was not constrained by their book-keeping having to add up.

lends the opposite of credibility to our foisting of Globalism and the WTO on Europe.

That's a very sad, but interesting idea. Converting an old theater into a parking garage...
