Detroit, Michigan

Anthony Bourdain on Detroit maybe becoming the next cool thing:

Do you buy into the notion, then, that artists and loft-dwellers are going to refab parts of Detroit as a kind of cheaper Brooklyn redux? It’s always part of a continuum. First come the artists, and then following the artists will be designers and the hip, wildly expensive boutiques, and then a couple of restaurants and then you’ve got a different neighborhood. I’m not even necessarily saying that’s bad. But that’s generally the way it is whether you’re talking about East Berlin or the Lower East Side.

"But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP), “didn't you say the exact same thing four years ago?"

OF COURSE I FUCKING DID.

But don't be upset. I've become used to the Universe lagging years behind me.
