First Time for Everything...

My father was very surprised a few weeks ago to actually see city workers of Detroit picking up trash and cleaning the streets. It was the first time he had ever seen anything like that in his life. I also noticed something very unusual in that all of the chain link fences near downtown around the freeway have been painted.

They have been there rusting away for years, but they are now shine in the sun with a beautiful silver coating of paint. Of course, the real question is why should it take a baseball and football game to create the motivation to improve the city?
