It never fails to amaze me how many gigantic companies are still headquartered (or have a major presence) in and around Detroit. Despite Detroit proper being a famous mess for decades, the greater Detroit area seems to be doing very well.

If bankruptcy is whats needed to turn city politics around and fix the basics, so be it. I hope it does work, because in my experience, Detroit is a fantastic, gritty, historical city with character like none other.
