Tim Horton's? I was up in Detroit earlier this week, and noticed that Horton's has infiltrated up there! Didn't someone see them sneaking in?



Speaking of Detroit, what a ******** downtown is. Really interesting architecture, but it's so run down and dilapidated. They really need some leadership to do an "urban renewal".

Every once in a while I'll see a program about the architecture of decaying American cities. Too bad...they all seem to have had that big boom period from the 1870's until WW2.
Detroit and Buffalo are two examples.

Buffalo is second on the list with about 30% of the population below the poverty level. Those folks
are *really* smart. They've not elected a Republican mayor since 1954.
