How can I see this? Is it on PBS or what?

[@jerryg1964]

@relimes the triangular building you mentioned is the penobscot building. the ren cen wouldn't come along for quite a while

[@MotorCity1370]

@relimes The RenCen wasn't finished until 1977. As far as the other building you're referring to, I think it was One Detroit Center, that wasn't finished until the late 80s.

[@relimes]

Where is the rennaisance center and that triangluar looking building at 0:59?

[@jerryg1964]

0:40 ... I wonder if the producers realized the double entendre of naming a show CPT (Colored People's Time)?
