Very nice and a good, positive twist. | ||

Nice piece but a few errors that would have been pretty easy to edit before publication. -As stated above Berry Gordon is an obvious one. -"MoTown" - what the hell? (It makes you wonder if the writer has actually been to the Motown Museum or even listened to a Motown recording with spelling errors like that.) -When talking about the DIA the writer said "had the foresight to acquire Diego Rivera’s Auto Industry murals", as if you just put in the highest bid at Christie's and transport them over by van/truck. Over all it's great to see all this on the front page of MSNBC, but please get the easy details correct. (Message edited by BVos on July 25, 2006) | ||

Memphis Smoke? Geesh. It sounds like this guy didn't even come here...had someone send him a copy of MetroTimes and he looked at the advertisements. Well...it's positive. Can't complain I guess. | ||

Spelling mistakes are one thing --- but spelling mistakes when you are calling out a spelling mistake is something completely different. Kind of like Ndavies "grammer police" post... | ||

Pretty positive, but they've got the visitor driving all over the place. If they needed live music, there's plenty downtown. At midnight on friday night, you just let your ears take you there. (last Friday, there was tons of live music outdoors in Harmonie Park...not to mention everything going on inside the mainstay watering holes) oh well This story touches, in the very beginning, on what the image and draw of Detroit is to outsiders (i.e., what do you first associate with Detroit). To outsiders, it is still CARS and MUSIC. While those aren't bad things, it is funny when you compare it what people in this area and in this forum usually state--that in this region Detroit is the center of all culture in general, from art to music to architecture. I guess this means that Detroit still doesn't stack up too well against other cities in terms of this criteria (to outsiders), but the more people visit, the more I think that should change. | ||

What's wrong with Memphis Smoke? It's got great music and great food. Is it because it's in Royal Oak? | ||

At least we're getting some love from the out of town press, which is more then we get from some of the locals. | ||

I thought that sounded a bit odd, as well. He should have said that the DIA had the foresight to not destroy Rivera's murals, as was the case at Rockefeller Center in NYC. | ||

^Not for some people not trying, including City Council, and how ironic that Edsel Ford was one who fought to save them. | ||

Missed one, "...crabs and all the slots you can stomach." I didn't know there was a gambling game called crabs.  | ||
