Take a look and see how Detroit was once one of the best cities in the US and indeed in the world. That all soon changed however when liberals took control in the 60's all the way up until this day.

As a Cardinals fan, I am reminded of 1985. This may be the worst blown call ever.
Call Selig and tell him what you think. I think he should reverse the call and award the kid his Perfecto.

This is a collection of largely home movies from the 40s and 50s of life in and around Detroit - one of the world's greatest cities in those days and, during WW II, perhaps the world's most important. These films will no doubt create a sense of nostalgia for many, especially those old enough to remember Detroit as a vital metropolis. For younger people it will cause astonishment that a city whose name has become synonomous with urban decay was once so alive. But it should also cause anger. For Detroit's decline was not inevitable. It was the product of a perfect storm of clueless public policy and private venality.
I'd say in every aspect of life in Detroit, red sirens are flashing. A coalition of education leaders and foundations will unveil today a sweeping academic reform agenda that targets failing schools, calls for 70 new programs and launches a national effort to recruit principals.
