Reflections on Detroit Rock City

Kathi and I are off to the shimmering utopian metropolis of Detroit, Michigan! Poverty, urban flight, and race riots aren't enough to bring down this grande dame of American industrialism. She's still as vibrant as ever with her abandoned housing projects and inner-city casinos! We feel priviledged to be a witness to the coming renaissance of this beloved borough.

In all fairness, we're not really going to be in Detroit. We're going to visit some old friends, Becky and Jason McIndoe, who live in a suburb of Detroit. But, on Sunday we will be donning our Kevlar vests and venturing into the city for a Tigers game! Actually, it seems that the Tigers are the only thing Detriot has going for it right now.

Also, Randy and Sarah drove up from Columbus yesterday and stayed at our place. They're going to Lollapalooza this weekend in the city. We spent most of last night hanging out and laughing about days gone by...
