Setting The Stage For Detroits Renaissance: Music, Automotive, And Manufacturing

338-MichiganTheaterDetroit used to be the fourth most populous city in the United States. As of 2010, with a population of around 750,000, it ranks 18th. It's not news that the economy of the city, largely reliant on the automotive industry, has deteriorated significantly. On our Northern Meetup tour, this was painfully obvious. I didn't expect the Detroit of the past, but I'd hoped to feel the spirit of Motown, the energy of a city that's home to sports titans and a major manufacturing center of our country. Instead, I found empty sidewalks and streets, and even emptier buildings.
