tigerslionspistonshabs Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I think it's inevitable that QC will get a team at some point in the foreseeable future, it's just a matter of when. And when it does happen, someone's gonna have to go back West. As much as I'd like to see Seattle get a team, I don't know how realistic it is- yet anyways. Will it be both Detroit and Columbus so that no favoritism is played? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCRGraphix Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 The Red Wings have been demanding a replacement for Joe Lewis Arena.Already approved and ready to go. $650 million to replace a building that doesn't crucially need replacing in a bankrupt, poverty-stricken city where 1/3 of the ambulances work, 100,000 abandoned buildings and the emergency response time is 58 minutes. Solid plan.Detroit is an embarrassment to this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 It's not just Detroit - the state of Michigan has been doing its best to run the place into the ground as well. There's plenty of stink to spread around. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of stink to spread around.True that. I grew up in Michigan, and it's just sad there. I'm currently living in Huntsville, Alabama where the economy is actually decent, but we're actually doing all the paperwork and whatnot to emigrate to Canada.

The_Admiral Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Imbeciles must have an annual convention.I hesitate to put this out there, but in the case of Detroit, where more than anywhere in the nation you have a donut of population around a big empty hole, there is something to be said for getting those people back into the city, if only for a sporting event. If people didn't go to Detroit for Tigers/Wings games, would they go to Detroit for anything?True that. I grew up in Michigan, and it's just sad there. I'm currently living in Huntsville, Alabama where the economy is actually decentYeah, largely at the expense of Michigan.

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 ^ The downtown/midtown/bricktown corridor is actually quite nice. A lot of people work for large companies who have headquarters there. A lot of nice condos as well. It's when you start getting about 2 miles out in each directly that it really all goes to hell.

The_Admiral Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 They were good but they're running out of premises. I heard one where Tim Allen was seriously like "hey. Have you considered taking a day trip to Kalamazoo? It's really not that bad. It's kind of cute. There's stuff there. Next time you're wondering what to do on a Saturday, drive to Kalamazoo. It's Pure Michigan." F-ckin' I'm not going to Kalamazoo. Not even to meet a girl. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you might be right. Where I ended up was Grand Rapids, which was kind of a cool city. That's where Founders Brewing is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in Kalamazoo, and it's on the decline as a whole, though there are parts of town that are still cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Just a thought - since this thread is taking a tangent to Detroit's situation - should that start its own thread? I'm going to go ahead, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
