The Motor City
Back when I left Michigan, I knew I'd never return to live there. As far back as the 70's and 80's I saw the automotive industry leaving. Music "The Motown sound" already left. There was simply nothing left to stay for. I was thinking of my future, and it looked bleak staying in Michigan.
I still have friends there though. Family as well. It's really bad everywhere in the state. Detroit tried to be what it wasn't, instead of what it was.
Despite my snarkyness, I do feel bad for those people. But this has been coming a long time, and was never hidden from anybody. Hence my description "Told ya so".
