Detroit coming to life...

[LincolnMan]

Wild Bill: Detroit certainly looks like what you described. Yet, at the same time, there are signs that the once proud city is coming back. Certainly the planting of the trees is a very positive sign. There are also young business people establishing shops in the very heart of the town. And Eva: you are correct- I have seen the vegetable gardens. The products from the gardens are available to purchase. I am optimistic about the city. I see the signs as seeds that may sprout to what will once again be a booming city- probably not to be realized during the remainder of my days. Today I also visited my "friend" Zachariah Chandler at his grave- and for the first time in a long time I felt that if he were alive to see what I'm seeing concerning his city- he might find reason to be encouraged too.
