NCAA Final Four Magic Dust

This morning, an AP article headlined Final Four host Detroit puts its troubles aside, wonders if the fact that the NCAA Final Four games being held in Detroit this coming weekend will somehow raise the City of Detroit from its decay to new heights of glory and respect as one of America’s top cities.  Don’t count on it.

Detroit is dying, and the high from the shots in the arm Detroit has received from hosting events like the Super Bowl and baseball’s All-Star game, recently, have worn off faster than cheap grade heroin, and yet the decay remains and is even accelerating.

Let’s not kid ourselves in regards to Detroit.  It is no longer one of America’s top cities, and now that Obama’s facist style management of the automobile industry is rising, I expect Detroit’s decline to achieve its nadir.  Whether it can actually arise again, remains to be seen.

UPDATE:  The rise of Detroit?  Racoon - It’s What’s For Dinner.
