too heart breaking to watch again, but a great piece of video journalism from the NYTimes - it paints a haunting, post-apocalyptic picture of a city rotting at the core, full of ‘hookers and drug dealers’ and scrappers willing to sell our steel to China for 11 cents a pound. the video fails to report that this activity is occurring on the fringes of our city, in the southern, more heavily industrialized areas with a low population density and a lack of economic activity. unfortunate, yes, but representative of the state of the city of Detroit? no.
dead silence in the operating room
dead silence in the OR today
one of the attendings was waiting on an instrument
everyone is standing around, twiddling thumbs
he says
“anyone know a joke”
i says
“a man walks into a bar with a giraffe
they both get hammered
the giraffe passes out
the man gets up to leave
the bartender says ‘hey man, you can’t leave that lyin’ here!’
the man says ‘it’s not a lion, it’s a giraffe!’

“I wonder if Andrew Shirvell is gay. Is he trying to fight some latent homosexual tendancies?”

BIKE LANES ON MICHIGAN AVENUE!!!!!!!
Bike lanes in Detroit? At first, I thought this was a prank, but then I realized that it wasn’t April 1st. Wow. Hopefully this will be the first of many to come:
Bike lanes on this portion of Michigan Avenue will also play into the Corktown-Mexicantown Greenlink that will be built in Spring 2011. The series of bike and pedestrian pathways and bike lanes, which is funded primarily by MDOT and the Greenways Initiative of the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, is intended to connect the neighborhoods of Corktown and Mexicantown to each other and to the Detroit River.
