Super Bowl In Detroit

Okay, so we got about a month to go before Super Bowl XL (40) hits the Motor City! As expected the powers that be are making downtown Detroit look totally different than it has been, and that’s not a bad thing. Hopefully, the improvements to Detroit will go beyond the Super Bowl and stretch beyond downtown!

I can honestly say that most of the transition has been taking place for a while, but things have definitely sped up considering we are getting closer to the Super Bowl date! Hopefully everything will turn out nice without all the excess violence that the critics would just love to see!

When it’s all said and done, maybe Detroit can shed a tired image it probably doesn’t deserve, or create a new image that brings both images closer to reality! Honestly, Detroit is closer to a lot of other cities that are close to our size, unfortunately Detroit hasn't had to much to brag about especially the downtown. Downtown Detroit hasn't been vibrant since the riot of '68, but things have changed quite a bit. Now if the powers that be hit the neighborhoods with that same determination as they have done with the downtown area, maybe that old image can be shed due to citizens who take more pride in where they live, work and play.

If any of you are coming to Detroit for the game, let a brother know how you see things! See ya at Ford Field
