I knew Detroit was segregated, but I didn't know the line was so stark you could color-code it on a map. I was also unaware that the violence and the shootings and the murders had gotten so bad—and the whole time Detroit was just half an hour away. It's kind of sad to know that it used to be such a big, proud, important city and now it's a shell of its former self.  I can't even imagine Detroit in its heyday, when the city was full of people and jobs. And now the city management never moved on from the prosperity the auto industry brought, and keep bailing out auto companies and making them the lifeblood of Detroit. That time has come and gone, and it's time to move on.
