Somebody should write the history of the glory that was Detroit.

During her heyday, Detroit was the grand American city and rivaled New York as the power center of the country.

The Detroit symphony orchestra pre-dated the 20th century.

At one time, Detroit was a tremendous incubator for art & music as well as home to some of America’s strongest and most diverse companies (GM, Ford, Chrysler, Motown ).

The 1960s were the beginning of the end after LBJ started his “War on Poverty”.
