I just happened to catch this earlier on cable. I can't decide if I like it or not. http://www.current.tv/pods/iss ue/PD06105 |

Ya whats this guys agenda? Seemed to be a bit one sided if you ask me, Luis Aguilar seemed to be a bit negative too, kinda funny how hes spending time downtown at starbucks and on the other hand fails to mention thats its located below a new condo developement in the city? Sure this guy drives a honda or toyota! |

They show the Book Cadillac as an example of an abandoned building but fail to mention its being renovated. |

This is two different perspectives. In 2000 Downtown Detroit really was just horrible, I even felt unsafe sometimes walking around downtown. Since I dont normally live in Detroit and come back once a year I get to see the transformation, and it seems that downtown detroit seems to be transforming into a young urban hub. There stills needs to be some more high paying jobs to enter the market, but I really do see Downtown Detroit turning into a viable hub of Michigan in the next 10 years. |

I don't know. The odd thing is, on the website, this is portrayed as a positive piece. Sort of like "the decline of a great city leads us back to nature." I couldn't help but crack up as they stood there trying to coax out the pheasant, but the hawk circling overhead was just a little to close to the image of a vulture waiting for an animal (Detroit?) to die so that it could feed off of the dead body. Again, I can't figure out the real point of the clip...if there is one. |
