Detroit City Is the Place to Be: The Afterlife of an American Metropolis by Mark Binelli
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The title sure seems ironic, maybe a bitter irony. The Italian-American returned Detroiter offers a litany of the Motor City's worst moments from decades past, the terretorial throes, and a cavalcade of crime, corruption, and failure leading into the Bing administration. The most hopeful remarks are of white hipster gentrification and repurposing, mostly gathered in the epilogue.
