Baltimore urban planning blogger writes about how America shouldn't turn its back on the city that helped build it.
Excerpt:
Detroit was a great American industrial jewel that we are allowing to
crumble like the ruins in Rome. The only catch is that Detroit has not
been deserted. Among these industrial ruins is the nation's 11th
largest city where over 900,000 people reside. Our nation's forgotten
major city is still larger then the cosmopolitan cities of San
Fransisco, Boston, Seattle and Washington D.C. While we can never bring
Detroit back to what it was 50 years ago, we can still transform the
city from a once great industrial city into a great historical city and
not watch city turn into a ruin from a far.
