Detroit was the subject of an article in the Travel section of the WP yesterday. See the link here:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06 /20/AR2008062001005.html

The WP Travel writers also conduct a weekly chat at 2:00pm on Mondays. The link to that is here, if you want to comment on the article:

am I the only one who thinks that this article does a really nice job of capturing the spirit of Detroit considering he was in the city for 2-3 days.

on another note, he said that the "aquarium [was] being well used."

I like the world he's living in.

I think he said the picnic areas were being well used, not the aquarium.

The writer was a woman.

In the comments section someone wrote: good people-big hearts => I often think that's the trade-off for "success" in this country.

1. After reading more closely, I think youre right about the picnic areas
2. lilpup, good call about the writer being a woman. It's an unfortunate habit of mine.
