In the wake of the best attended North American Auto Show since 2005, there is a growing buzz surrounding the city of Detroit. With a total attendance of 770,932, optimism in Detroit is the highest it has been in recent memory. Make no mistake world, Detroit is making an epic comeback... you heard it here first. As the heart and soul of the automotive industry, beautiful and sexy models were on display downtown. The women who attended also looked good. This is good news for the entire country because as Detroit goes, so does the whole US. Expect great things from our Big 3 this year and in the years to come. As the boomers retire in waves, Detroit has attracted a multitude of young professionals with cheap rent prices and a growing social scene. It's come time for that talent to go to work.Detroit closes the North American International Auto Show in style
Although snubbed from the Pro Bowl, Matthew Stafford embodies the heart of Detroit
It takes a long time to rebuild in the wake of devastation - just ask Jim Schwartz and the Detroit Lions. Not too long ago, Lions fans were wearing paper bags over their heads and orange t-shirts that read "Fire Millen" as our beloved football team was downright pitiful. It appears that the rebuilding phase is over, and the Lions are now reloading for another successful season beginning in the fall of 2012. Matthew Stafford has silenced all doubters by having the best season of his career, and one of the best seasons posted by a quarterback all-time. And while Stafford has done what only 4 other players have done in NFL history, Cam Newton is awarded the Pro-Bowl roster spot vacated by Eli Manning. This only solidifies our position as one of the most disliked teams in the NFL, a spot that Lions fans should relish in. The Patriots will win another Super Bowl this year fueled by their "Us against the world" attitude. My advice to the Lions - emulate the best and embrace your position. Here is a breakdown of Stafford vs. Newton:
- Passer Rating: Stafford 97..2 / Newton 84.5
- Completion %: Stafford 63.5 / Newton 60.0
- Yards: Stafford 5,038 / Newton 4,051
- Touchdowns: Stafford 41 / Newton 21
- Interceptions: Stafford 16 / Newton 17

ReplyDeleteA total attendance of 770,932! Wow!
DeleteFor those of us who are truly interested in the city’s recovery, I would say it’s a great start. Of course, nothing meets success if not accompanied with a positive attitude. We do see that things are changing for the better. (Of course, once in a while, we come across few pessimist who will end up finding faults with everything and surprisingly they are never disappointed :)
Thanks for your optimism- definitely builds hope!
