I posted this in the "News" section but will repost here:
I don't think anyone is really shocked by this, but Detroit, which was once such a neat city, has filed chapter 9 bankruptcy.
As a kid we would go visit cousins every summer (one time I believe we took the train there). Whether we went for visits, weddings, anniversaries, funerals It was always a big deal going to the Detroit.
Makes me sad.
