QUOTE: Originally posted by tomtrain What did Pittsburgh do right that Detroit hasn't figured out? I was in Pittsburgh a month or so ago, and it's central city is vibrant. The city was built by Steel which is now pretty much gone. Is it that Detroit still thinks it's the Motor City?
QUOTE: Originally posted by Peterson6868 One thing that I noticed is how much of Downtown Detroit is a Abanided Hulk. 40 story buildings stand empty and the Statler which was the citys (The Statler was the first major hotel chain in this country) finast hotel was being preped to be blown up. In a later converastion I had with a former Detroiter in Port Huron He explained that the Statler was alowed to degrade into a Welfare Hotel and the area was overrun by Prostitues and Ballers. The Cadillac Building was one of this citys worst white elepahants and despite several attemps to fix it up nothing has come to frutation.
