6 Things To Love About Detroit. (Because 5 Isn't Enough. Seriously.)
1) The abandoned Michigan Central Station. Beautiful even in decay.2) All America vs. Lafayette. In this battle for coney dog supremacy, there are no losers.
3) Fake City, Real Dreams podcast. A Utopian vision of Detroit as imagined by a mass transit employee of same. Why did the rebuilding project stop at casinos, again?
4) Diego Rivera's Detroit Industry mural at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Seen in person, the dread sets in at about the 30 second mark. But it feels good.
5) Gators.
6) Detroit, 1984. Painter's caps. Prodigious hair above the upper lip. Boy George, Magnum, P.I. Only one force could bring these elements together: Tiger baseball. Bless You Boys, indeed.
