I have pride in a falling city, so what?

Call me an optimist. My glass is always half full. I look for the good in everyone and everything. This tendency makes me a little gullible. I always believe people are telling me the truth because I find it hard to lie. I used to be better at it but cannot seem to be good at it any longer. I guess that is a good thing. I saw a website where some photographers took pictures of the worse parts of Detroit. It is called "Ruins of Detroit." I tried to put the link in here but for some reason it did not work. It comes right up when you Google it. The buildings are depressing. I can see that there was one point in time when they were magnificant and beautiful. I can see how majestically they once stood in Detroit. The city that used to be one of the best in the world is slowly falling apart. The crime rate is falling but so is the population. Crime is not going down because people are being nice to each other. Instead it is falling because people are moving out of the city and into the suburbs. Bring trash into the suburbs? Yeah, that sounds like a plan to me. Okay so that makes me sound racist which I am far from. I am not giving up on Detroit. I do not think I will ever give up on Detroit. I love Detroit. I believe that someday the problems will be solved and many magnificant buildings will stand again. Of course it is going to take a lot of time. There is a lot of work to be done. However it is a great city and I will always believe in it. Next time someone says something negitive about the wonderful and amazing city that I grew up just outside of, I am going to have some words...
