Detroit
They Can Always Hope...
Oh Detroit! A once great metropolis and center of American manufacturing. In the past 50 years you've lost more than 1/2 your population, have seen thousands of abandoned houses go up in flames, blew up the Hudson's building, and sold the Ren-Cen for a song to GM. The urban resurgence of the 90's and 00's past you by and gambling was supposed to revive the city, but the casinos are islands in an otherwise abandoned inner-city.
So, put on some make up and a pretty dress for the Super Bowl. But like Carrie getting ready for prom... please don't set everything on fire when no one asks you to dance.
