People my age, we would hear from our parents and grandparents who were raised in Detroit about how great this city was from 1900 to the '60s.

People are more optimistic about Detroit outside of Detroit.

I'd probably put myself in the top 1% in knowledge of blight in the city of Detroit.

Detroit in its heyday - let's say, 1920s to the '60s - was never a huge downtown-living thing. People lived in the neighborhoods.

It's all about connectivity - not just technical connectivity but geographic connectivity. That's what makes a city go.

People are traveling together as small groups, either families with grandparents, parents and children or as social groups. We see a lot of family trips to Alaska and Hawaii. There is a definite focus, a big, big focus, on travel in the USA.
