only being recognized nationally about our crime rate and about things that were not very positive, you know?
And so, like, people see the movie RoboCop, the original RoboCop.
I think they may have remade it or whatever, but they see RoboCop and they think that's Detroit.
I mean, I don't even think RoboCop was actually filmed in Detroit, but it's based in Detroit.
The story is, but that's how people came to think of Detroit as just this barren, crime-ridden hellscape that didn't deserve anything.
And so...
It is with a lot of pride that I see Detroit being embraced now and people understanding that what's happening there is not a fluke.
We have been through some stops and starts before.
Listen, Detroit has a Gucci store downtown.
I never thought I would see that.
all right when i was growing up there were no major department department stores in downtown detroit and now there's a gucci store and an apple store and a 50s store and so um while some of this also signals a gentrification that can be create and cause some uncomfortable questions
I think I'm generally more positive about saying it because I do see that growth spreading out to other parts of the city because that's where you want to see it.
You want to see the neighborhoods come up if there's a revitalization downtown.
But downtown is cracking.
Detroit is the place.
But did it start with sports?
No, not really.
I mean, I think there was a lot of investment things that were that were happening downtown.
But to your point, it's like the Tigers being good, like when your baseball team is good, that is a different type of renaissance that the city will see because you have more opportunities to be in that area.
You know, you're talking about 160, you know, two game schedule.
