Crazy Eddie's Motie News: Model D Media on #Detroit and its potential

Model D Media on Detroit, Ground Zero of the post-industrial future



Today, Model D Media reminded me why it is one of my favorite news sources in Detroit, and why I should read it more often. True, they have all kinds of great food stories from the past week on their front page right now, which I'll post about in the very near future, such as tomorrow. But that's not why. Instead, the managing editor posted a great statement about the potential of Detroit.

Editor's notebook: The death and life of a great American city
Walter Wasacz | Tuesday, April 05, 2011

While census workers did their job we did ours: produced ideas, converting them into real action. Detroit's creative juices have been flowing over the past decade. Managing editor Walter Wasacz says hang on, this is just the beginning of a long, wild ride into the unknown.

"A long, wild ride into the unknown"--and that's exactly what we're all embarking on, whether we live in Detroit, Los Angeles, or anywhere else in the world, including the readers from Canada, Australia, India, China, the Russian Republic, or Yemen who have stopped by this past week. Yes, folks, I see you. The difference is that Detroit knows this, even if the rest of you don't, and we're likely to arrive at the future first. As I'm fond of typing out, "Welcome to Detroit, Ground Zero of the post-industrial future."

What I posted above was just the teaser. For the highlights of what Wasacz wrote in the editorial itself, as well as my comments, read the rest of the post on Crazy Eddie's Motie News.

So that's why my last entry didn't crosspost

It's not just you! http://livejournal.com looks down from here.

Also, the longest LJ is down thread I've ever seen on JournalFen.

Three more weeks of Mercury Retrograde.  Hang in there.
