Has
this happened to you: You’re out of town, maybe on vacation, and nobody knows where
you’re from….so you say, “I’m from Detroit.” And then you get that look, the one that gives you the
sense the person is sorry for you.
It’s
not surprising, as the mainstream media constantly feeds negative stories of
Detroit, from crime, to government mismanagement and corruption, to bankruptcy.
A lot of Michiganders even have negative sentiment about Detroit.
The
city’s motto states, “We Hope for Better Things; It Shall Rise From the Ashes.”
And better things are already happening, and Detroit is “rising from the ashes”
of what is, admittedly, a scarred past.
I
encourage everybody to check out two great websites: Curbed Detroit and Eater
Detroit, which track positive development and rejuvenation, and the great eats
and drinks, around the city.
And
here’s a link to the latest piece of big news out of Detroit. Dan Gilbert is
buying the historic One Detroit Center, and Ally Financial will be moving in
(and it will be renamed Ally Detroit Center). Link: http://detroit.curbed.com/archives/2015/03/dan-gilbert-buys-fills-and-rebrands-one-detroit-center.php
