Probably the best piece I have seen written on the D in several years... From an outside source as well, that really says alot... |

Not all good news from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Art Thiel Column: "Only the tiniest fraction of locals will witness the Seahawks' next game in person, and because this year's game is held in Detroit -- Baghdad, you may have read, was booked -- they will be better served to watch it on TV." http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/ football/256683_thiel23.html |

I'll grant you, Art did not do himself proud with that line, but the rest of the column pretty much reflected how we feel (and have felt) out here on the NorthLeft part of the country when it comes to our Seahawks..... |

they should probably tell out of towners just exactly where dieppe gardens is. I mean for starters, a county would have helped |

re the dispatch article & bums at CMP: I find this a little hard to believe considering how usually vociferious the security is around the park when it comes to bums..... |

Having been to Seattle three times in the last 18 months, got to admit it is one beautiful town. Did all the usual tourist stuff, including lunch atop the space needle; the ferry boat ride across the sound; and watching them toss the fish in Pike Place Market. I love Seattle! But, man, The Bus is from my old High School! Who to pull for? Who to cheer on? Who????Decisions........ |

I just sent Art an e-mail: ------------------------------ -------------------- Art, Referring to Baghdad when describing Detroit just shows your ignorance, not to mention a high level of insensitivity to the people dying over there. I've attached a crime study press release from last year showing that Detroit's Downtown crime rate is below the national average by 26%. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. By the way, that needle thing you guys got is really neato. ------------------------------ -------- I hope he likes it. |

I thought the article sounded familiar and it was -- it's just an AP article that the Seattle Post picked up. Other papers who picked up the article are the Sacremento Bee http://www.sacbee.com/content/ travel/24hour_travel/story/309 8510p-11801418c.html and some Oregon news organization http://www.kgw.com/sharedconte nt/APStories/stories/D8FAI2B01 .html Hopefully even more are picking it up. So the writer probably wasn't from the Space Needle... Here's another positive, but short, article from Grand Rapids: http://www.woodtv.com/Global/s tory.asp?S=4391957&nav=0Rce |

Ray1936, I gotta agree, Seattle is a pretty place, more newer and shiny than Detroit City, arguably less gritty and historic. Different in many ways but also similar in many ways (population density, number of skyscrapers, music centers, above ground train systems only useful for getting from one tourist destination to another...). You think Eastern Market will ever be the kind of tourist destination that Pike Place is? That's kinda what I'm hoping. And yet another article from Seattle, not quite malicious but not nearly as glowingly positive: http://seattletimes.nwsource.c om/html/travel/2002752244_detr oit21web.html |

Michelle Kaufman at The Miami Herald also does right today under the headline Despite weather, Super Bowl a Hot Spot: quote:Detroiters are well aware the national media will make fun of their gray, cold city, even though the Motor City is the only place on earth that can boast Motown and Greektown, Eminem and Kid Rock. If you think there will be nothing for Super Bowl guests to do in the days leading up to the game, think again. The city is hosting a 14-block Motown Winter Blast, which is being billed as ''The Hottest Place to Be!'' There will be concerts (in heated tents), an ice rink, ice sculpture garden, dog sled races, snowshoeing and a multilane 200-foot snow slide.

From the last line of the Columbus Dispatch:
quote:If only American automobiles offered that kind of value and excitement.
Too bad our non Detroit residents thing like that... |

The "look at Detroit now" ripples also flow from another D, where readers Tuesday saw a piece that's factually accurate . . . . . . but that makes a familiar visit to cliché-ville. Sputtering Detroit is ready to bask in Super Bowl glow City to set aside its troubles -- for a weekend, anyway http://www.dallasnews.com/s/dw s/bus/stories/DN-detroit_24bus .ART.North.Edition2.e37af69.ht ml |

I'm not usually a big fan of the Freep's Mike Rosenberg, but he has a good article on the D on Foxsports.com: http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/s tory/5268730 |
