How Detroit Transit Fails
A year ago, while bitterly complaining to someone working for a local transit provider about Detroit’s ineffective services, he asked me to write it all down. So here it is, presented as a blog post. This post isn’t satire, it’s not about Zelda and the Unibrows, and, frankly, it’s pretty dry. A few things have changed in the year since I wrote this commentary, and I’ve added those at the end. Enjoy, transit nerds!
Kościuszko Fountain
Between Downtown Detroit and Corktown is an anti-pedestrian zone framed by the MGM Casino and some not-very-well-designed “green space”, all overwhelmed by giant roads. Revolutionary War General Thadeus Kosciuszko greets visitors to one wedge of this ephemeral land, once a row of shops in Corktown’s “skid row”, later destroyed by the 1960s construction of The Lodge expressway.
Zelda and the Unibrows – They Might Be Giants contest: Am I Awake?
We made it through round one, which was the paring down of over 100 submissions to thirteen, from which John Hodgeman, not TMBG, was to pick the three winners. We didn’t win. This was really fun and we’re proud of it, though.
