We almost lost Detroit*; loads of hipsters turned up with cameras and took photos of ruin porn. But others came, started urban farms, small businesses that sort of thing. All good and besides, this sort of thing always happens in run down areas. You can read more about what these people think of the media’s view of their city here.
And you should because when I heard about the Kickstarter project to erect a statue of Robocop in the city, I wondered how many people in the city pledged. And of course, what the real Detroit Robocop, James “Jack Rabbit” Jackson, thinks about it:It looks like an amazing film and like the statue proposal, funded (and then some) by Kickstarter.
