Atlantic Cities: Detroit’s “dark euphoria”
Any piece about Detroit that leads with a quote from Sci-fi scion Bruce Sterling passes our cultural literacy test. Not to mention some other juicy wordsmithing by philosopher-superstar-entrepreneur Josh Linkner, who tells Atlantic Cities: “I’ll put a Detroit entrepreneur up against anyone from the coasts and I think we’d kick their ass.” Yeah, man. We like that kind of real talk. He also takes on the city’s notorious lack of density, saying: “Things tend to be spread out,” he said. “Something on one block and something else four blocks later. We don’t have a place you can stroll around for eight square blocks.”
Right again, Josh. Read the entire story, largely about the national buzz being generated by the M@dison Building, here.
