Don’t Detroit America; We need to tell the story of Detroit — and of its opposite, Texas.

Michigan Central Station From Time
Detroit's main train station, opened in 1913, has not been used since 1988

 
NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE "People and businesses didn’t just move from Detroit, they fled. And what they were fleeing was liberalism, the accumulated detritus of 50 straight years of Democratic leadership. They kept fleeing until there was so little left for city leaders to tax — so little business left there from which to extract revenue — that Detroit was forced to declare bankruptcy.

"Detroit is the Left’s Ground Zero. And it was caused not by a terrorist strike or an invading army but by a combination of union greed, government incompetence, bad policies, broken promises, outright corruption, and a lot of bad faith."
Not a failure of capitalism, but a failure to practice capitalism.
Detroit's Beautiful, Horrible Decline
United Artists Theater
This spectacular Spanish Gothic theater, built in 1928, was closed in the 1970s.
 Looks much like undersea photos of the Titanic
