Welcome to Detroit-Where the weak are killed and eaten!
RE: Welcome To Detroit!
And a friday night in Belleville. What could be more fun?
RE: Welcome To Detroit!
I spent a day in Detroit, while in a one month trip among an American family from Kalamazoo, Mi. Though the month was really good, the day in Detroit was horrible and shorter than forecast : we've been threatened and followed by strange guys till we ran away off the city, back to safer places.
I know this sort of things can happen every where, in every sort of country, but anyway I don't fancy going back to this town. (But I wouldn't mind going back anywhere else in Michigan, where I spent some of my most wonderful days in life...)
My point is, considering there is an article to improve the welcoming in Detroit, does that mean there is a serious problem with it ?

Welcome to De-toilet, now go home.
If you're not packing you're not trying.
Run!
Welcome to Detroit, World's Crappiest Airport (not including the new NW Gateway)

RE: Welcome To Detroit!
IIRC, the "where the weak are killed and eaten" is an old saying, most popular just after the mid-sixties riots. I may even have an old T-shirt in my shop rag can with the slogan.
Recently returned from a two-week vist there (actually, most time was spent in the suburbs) and was pleasantly surprised by the apparent lack of negative incidents during the All-Star "festivities". Hope they come up with good, positive slogans, but hope even more they can live up to the slogans.
Kind regards...Jack (P.S. Forgot about the terrible - terrifying? - roads. Geeze, what a disgrace. But at least they are putting some whitewash and band-aids on entry/egress thoroughfares in prep for the Superbowl.

RE: Welcome To Detroit!
Oh cmon Jack, youve lost your inner-Detroiter if you think the roads are terrifying! For shame... You mean to tell me you dont miss the high speed slalom driving that goes on here? You dont miss the autobahn (696)? Anyway, MDOT is repaving massive stretches of these roads, like most of the Jeffries.
I think the current slogan will suffice.. "Its a Great Time In Detroit"... yeah, hahaha.. it still makes me laugh. Maybe one day it actually will be.

Detroit - where the people mover is dope
Detroit - we're more than Greektown, we promise
Detroit - just a river away from Canada
Detroit - home of the Motor City Kitties

That would be Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick in his city leased Lincoln Navigator with a 21-man security detail.
RE: Welcome To Detroit!
I happen to like Detriot a lot.
I never felt like my life was in danger. The people are nice and very down to earth.
The city is clean and very cheap.
Best of all, Northwest has a hub there.
