It's been a while since I've posted on my blog. There's so much that has happened and still happening not only in the "D", but everywhere. With Detroit being the largest metropolitan city in Michigan, everything that takes place here has the largest impact on Michigan as a whole.
Let's see, we have been the target on one of the largest scandals, well let's say several: The Kwame Drama which has many subcompartments with the major stories being "The Tammy Greene Saga", and "Kwame not paying back restitution to the City of Detroit", Mayoral Race well the lack of with Mayor Bing not debating his challenger Tom Barrow (I just read an one hour interview will be tape....hmmmm), The Big Three Employment / Unemployment and selling cars, The City Council Drama, Monica Conyers...well she's being quiet right now along with Sam Riddle, The Cobo Hall's secret dealings of a public real estate without the vote of the public, The Water Department and the interseptor, Detroit Public Schools bankruptcy which needs to be audited and more people in the higher seat need to go to prison, and that's just the start. Let's also add the foreclosure rates, and unemployment rates that is still going up, and everyone moving out of Detroit. Heck, my neighbor said it was hard for him to get a moving truck because they were all taken. Everyone involved in Detroit politics wants to say the city is broke; I beg to differ especially with the case of the Gateway Project, and where has all the funds from the stimulus packet that Detroit specifically was supposed to get?
Despite all of this drama, I still try to find goodness that's going on. The news media concentrate on the so-called high crime that's going on, but when you compare the figures with the rate of people who live in the city, the rate isn't high...it's average. When you constantly hear negativity and told that Detroit is Bad, you truly begin to feel it when it may not be the case for you. Sometimes it makes me wonder about the propaganda of Detroit, but to get an understanding about how some people in the state of Michigan feel about the residents of Detroit, please visit the comment section of any article that's dealing with Detroit issues on the Detroit Free Press website especially at www.freep.com or the Detroit News at www.detnews.com and view some of the heartfelt comments. It's quite amazing at times.
Well, I had some items to get off my chest and I'll say from this moment on, I will be diligently searching for that positive news that's going on in my city for those who are tired of the same ole drama that is printed and shown constantly in the media about Detroit.
