A2: Detroit

Ned Staebler, an Ann Arbor resident who’s vice president for economic development at Wayne State University, writes an entry for HuffPost Detroit that explains why he’s optimistic about the future of that city. “Search for ‘Detroit’ on Facebook and you’ll find hundreds of groups. Some have names that include words like ‘defend,’ ‘restore,’ or ‘save.’ But, increasingly there are more and more with other themes in their titles: ‘salsa,’ ‘young,’ ‘discover.’ Why is this important? Because, we’ll know Detroit is healthy again when we all have stopped focusing on saving it.” [Source]
