Frosty Wooldridge: Don't cry for me Detroit. |
2013-08-14 |
For 15 years, from the mid 1970's to 1990, I worked in Detroit, Michigan. I watched it descend into the abyss of crime, debauchery, gunplay, drugs, school truancy, car-jacking, gangs and human depravity. I watched entire city blocks burned out. I watched graffiti explode on buildings, cars, trucks, buses and school yards. Trash everywhere! Then there's the downside! Posted under 'signs and portents' not for no reason. |

#4 "In the name of all that is history do visit Harrolds blog and feel the very essence of the world wide web in its proto-state. It's like the Hubble Long Exposure." Except my computer's APU doesn't have any support for the 'blink' command in its graphics coprocessor. |
