Downtown Detroit is such an enigma. It is trying so hard to make a comeback and some parts
of it are truly wonderful (Ren Cen, Comerica Park, Ford Field), but then you go a block over and
it is as pitty as you can get. Right now half of the downtown streets are torn up as the city tries to
polish its image for when the Superbowl comes to town. This shot is right in the middle of what
was (should be) the prime downtown retail district.
