This is a partial picture of the mural of Michigan's wealth in the Guardian Building Detroit bashing hurts all of us. There was a story in the Detroit News Today that I felt I just had to respond to. I just hate it when people talk so pejoratively about our City. It is our City. It belongs to all of us. We all support it with our taxes in way or the other. Detroit has beautiful gems and jewels. Ask me. I know every nook and cranny and love to show off the "D".Dear Editor,Detroit bashing (Patterson Swipes Jan. 21, 2013) stabs all of us whether we know it or not. It affects tourism dollars, current & potential industry, revenue, taxes, etc. The more people negatively talk about the "D" the more our City and State suffers, which means the suburbs, too. Stop the bad mouthing because it tortures our neighborhoods, our businesses, our restaurants our livelihoods. There are a lot of positive things happening in Detroit. I show tourists a Detroit that they end up raving about filled with interesting people and places. So, if you can't say anything good, shut the heck up, pick up your mitt and just leave so you will no longer have a voice.
