Since 1942? You seem to have overlooked Detroit's contribution to WW-II with the B-52's and the country's entire auto industry until the influx of the foreign autos.
Without the "progress" of the Detroit auto industry, you'd still be wrasslin steers and buckin' yer broncos........
Detroit is growing once again despite your ignorance of the changes going on. But I suspect that's due to your own problem with the illegal Mexicans that are flooding your state.............
We'll leave that for another topic......LOL!
Yes, we really couldn't have gotten back at the French for bombing Pearl Harbor if we didn't have those B-52s during World War II. Or did you mean the music group? They were out of Athens GA in the 1970s.
I take it that you got a public school education in some northern urban system?
