There Is Still Hope In Detroit.

When you read the newspaper or watch the news on television you will hear a lot of bad things about Detroit. The media almost always seems to be negative. After all this is what gets people's attention. The media always speaks about how bad the businesses are doing in Detroit. If you take a trip downtown you will see plenty of thriving businesses that have been around for such a long time, as well as many new ones. Detroit is not doing as bad as the media makes it look. Detroit is continuously growing and is looking toward the future. One thing that the media has blown out of proportion recently is how Comerica Bank is pulling there headquarters out of Detroit. Yes it is difficult since our famous ballpark is named after the bank, but as far as the jobs leaving Michigan, there are only 200. Those 200 people are not even losing their jobs, they are just being relocated to Dallas.


Ford Field is a very thriving business in Detroit which provides a lot of jobs to the community.

The Fox Theatre has been a very important part of Detroit and actually has plans to expand and possibly purchase another building.

Because of the larger businesses in Detroit, many small businesses have had great success.

Detroit isn't doing nearly as bad as the media makes it sound. It does need a lot of work, but Detroit will be fine. Although they are moving slowly, they are still moving forward.
