Some fourty years ago, Detroit was lobbying to get the Olympics in Detroit. We lost to Mexico City, but hey. Linked here is a film that was put together around 1965 as a promo for Detroit. It characterizes the city as a renaissance hub; a city of unbridled opportunity. Many watch this video today and get their panties in a bundle about Detroit being nothing close to what was shown in the film, but crap, it’s kind of cool to understand the beauty that was and how that once prevalent mindset could very well produce positive outcomes as we continue to re-shape Detroit moving forward.
