I love this city 2005-06-03 // 5:02 p.m. I haven't been here in a while. I recently read something a friend wrote about Detroit, it sums up everything about this city so amazingly well. This is why I am staying here, this is why I want to call this place my home: "This is a city that hides from itself, it is a city that lives on a reputation that no longer applies. It is a ghost town; (a town built for two million plus, with fewer than one million residents). A city so polorized, that the only grey here is the infra-structure, everything above the cement is black or white. Detroit is empty, but loud; nothing happens in plain view here, everything happens behind closed doors, in backrooms and basements... after reasonable hours. The thing is, if you are in New York, or L.A., everything happens out in the open. Everybody sees it, but somehow, even when you're there, you're a spectator. In Detroit, once you find it, you are so much a part of what is happening, you can be prosecuted."
