Soon after I returned to Detroit, @CommEdgeCollab asked me to write about what the city is like now. It took me seven years, but I finally obliged.

Cities across the world are shrinking. Leaders must accept this reality. Glad to talk to Alan Mallach about this phenomenon and how we can build a sustainable future.

@TheDailyDetroit @6a726d The city has shown it can change things when it wants to, as proven by the completely unnecessary Park Detroit “upgrade.”
English
@6a726d I’m done just accepting we can’t do things other places just get done. It’s like we think there’s some magic stopping us. Or, usually it’s either a) Lazy excuses or b) Someone connected is getting paid so changing it would cut their money stream.

It’s 2023. The People Mover - especially the Detroit People Mover where there’s fixed fare boxes - and all transit needs to also work where you just slide or tap to pay off your credit or debit card. Game changer and reduces friction for use.

I do like the simplicity of the park, and have enjoyed since I stayed a couple blocks away before there was the Rivertown Market. That said, I can’t help but wish I was a giant to just tap those tubes back in place 🤣

Agreed. If we need to erect bridges to get people over the road that leads to our waterfront, the problem is the road.

@DE_Gifford Ped bridge is good during an actual race but a ped bridge to connect Downtown to the riverfront? Hard no. Jefferson needs a road diet.

What are inconsistent assessments? Here's an example:
The Detroit homes on either side of this image are nearly identical -- except for their assessments. The home on the left has an Assessed Value/Sq Ft of $5.68. The home on the right’s AV/Sq Ft is $13.73.

On this day in 1991, #Swervedriver released their debut album “Raise” on Creation Records. Like Catherine Wheel, Lush, Adorable, Curve and others, Swervedriver do not get the praise they deserve in the world of music & #shoegaze.

How much different would your Detroit experience be if you had access to frequent and effective transportation, like an extended People Mover?
English
Over the last decade plus, Detroit has laudably turned its riverfront and environs into public space. Kind of.

@GJNeher Wait, funders notice that when your ED tells them a program had a whole half-dozen participants (!!) that it means 6??
English
Why would you ever say “half-a-dozen” when you could just say “six?”

@JonasG_Flinteg @deeped Jag kan inte förstår alla i svensk här men i engelska: “news value” has to do with its worth as information. Will it interest or inform readers? “Valuation” would have more to do with whether it has worth financially.

A pleasant surprise indeed! Anyone know the occasion?

Periodically the sky between Windsor and Detroit erupts with fireworks. I’m always surprised then amazed. Little unexpected show tonight.

@ChrisEnsingCBC I’m watching from my patio in Detroit and wondering the same thing!
English
Honestly feels like a Ford Fireworks sequel.
Anyone know why we’re all getting this delightful end of summer, post thunderstorm show?

Caught the sounds of First Aid Kit while out for an evening walk and joined these folks to listen for a spell.
