I was there (not that I produced any great art!), and I think that a flourishing art scene needs low rents above everything else...Detroit, the Paris of 21st century America!!

I needed that. The only thing you missed was something on the cult that sprouted up in the northeast part of the city. Thanks, John. I needed that.

We need more discussion about these issues. Someone needs to take charge and make change happen. Instead of doing nothing and letting the city crumble and become unsafe. I have lived here my entire life and have never thought of downtown as unsafe, but I am beginning to change my mind. Bravo, Carrie Hibbard Baker Thank you for this.

You have me in stitches. And also, what did I do to deserve such a world? Although I suppose great art comes out of hardship and strife, so perhaps our vision of a community united by creativity will become a reality. We need Doc Brown to help us now. Save the clocktower!
