Stop blame game, start supporting local institutions

Free Press columnist Desiree Cooper writes:
“Even if you wrote off the city long ago, the zoo controversy has reminded us all that we can't write off our memories as easily. Our childhoods are ensconced in the Arctic Ring of Life at the zoo, in the Rivera Court at the Detroit Institute of Arts, in the Streets of Old Detroit at the Detroit Historical Museum and in the aquarium on Belle Isle.

“Now it's time to put your money where your memories are. The council behaved badly, but the blame game is over. Like the grumpy Rumplestiltskin, it's time to spin your outrage into gold.”
