its not just us

It isn’t that I am happy when other people are killed or I hear of high violent crime rates, but this oh-so-brief story of a murder spree in Detroit that I found in the Times-Pic is a bit humbling, no? We can complain about our city’s crime rates and pretend like there isn’t a world filled with shit out there, but really this happens all over.

    Detroit is one of those truly beautiful, run down cities. It’s really sad to see those old homes pretty much in ruins. There were hints of a rebound about five years ago, but who knows, seeing as though the city was ranked as one of the most dangerous cities last year.

    I live just north of Detroit City and I have to say, you’re right, Heather. It happens everywhere. You just have to know the places to stay away from during evening hours and…well… frankly, the places to stay away from all together.

    P.S. Love your blogs…keep it up!
