The Motor City

 

Woodward Avenue doesn't really run downhill.

When I see this sign, I remember my old cars, the neighborhood kids I hung around with and the fun we had racing up and down this road.

I can recall the restaurants and diners along the way, some with car-hops, some with the best pizza ever.

I also remember that for years and years the politicians would say, "Detroit's on its way back."

The sad truth being, Detroit still remans as the decayed city it has always been.  Broken windows, burnt out structures, abandoned buildings and the remaining fumes 
from once thriving factories.

I guess, now that I think of it, when you drive Woodward Avenue, heading towards Detroit, you are, in fact, going downhill.
