My favorite of this selection is of course the Art museum 2nd would be the library the others I could take or leave

[@brucebeamon5460]

Surly wish the art museum would have been saved .

[@pmn2821]

Either this narration is A.I. or the narrator didn’t do any research and doesn’t know how to pronounce a handful of names. I grew up in Michigan and instantly chuckled at them.

[@SupercellSucks]

I laughed at your soul patch when I saw it.

[@dougleclaire9424]

My guess is A.I. A.I. sucks

[@AsaTrenchard1865]

Definitely AI. Nobody would pronounce 'Co.' as spelt 👎

[@alanjohnson2613]

Probably a simple text to speech program not AI

[@dougleclaire9424]

WAAABash?? Isn't it pronounced WAWBASH?? Is this another A.I. narrator???

[@HighAmericana]

Not AI. I've heard both ways

This goes to show you that NOBODY in Detroit government cares about Detroit history or historical buildings like Bostin and other cultural minded cities. Especially the type of people in Detroit City Council. If the buildings were built by white people, like Italians, Polish, German, Hungarian, or Mexican, tear it down. Make new Detroit architecture to greatly reflect the current Detroit population of today. The Detroit city council has a saying like OJ's lawyer, Johnny Cochran. " If it ain't black, take it back." "If it don't fit, tear it down brick by brick"😮

[@idontwantahandle]

Except Black people had nothing to do with tearing down any of these buildings racist.

[@rickprusak9326]

@idontwantahandle The past and current members of Detroit city council ain't Mexican but are still deeply tanned. In many cases, about tearing down historical buildings in Detroit, it was the black majority Detroit City Council members that pulled the trigger on building demolition. And it was the black population that started the destruction of Detroit during the summer of 1967. Instead of taking their anger against the racist white cops 👮‍♂️, the people on 12th and Clairemont recided to punish the Detroit police force by burning and looting their own neighborhood to the ground and their STUPIDITY spread out beyond 12th and Clairemont to what Detroit looks like today. Real smart urban street cockroaches. The racist white cop's won, but the city of Detroit LOST and NEVER recovered. And I'm no racist. The Detroit police officers were. As a white citizen of Detroit, I voted for Colman Young so he could get rid of the thug cop's, especially The Big 4. I got thumped by the white criminal Big 4 cop's too. They and the rest of the Detroit cop's did not just discriminate against black people.
