Detroit cleans up nicely. I was impressed the last two nights when I went downtown and found a city much different from the one I grew up with. The streets were clean and filled shoulder to shoulder with people, the buildings were illuminated with red, blue and white lights and police officers and event volunteers were good-natured and smiley. All for Sunday's big game and the madness that surrounds it. I had a really good time watching ice skating, tasting samples of food from local restaurants, walking through the many tents of souvenirs and just getting into the spirit of things. My only hope is that the improvements made can be maintained and built upon when the spotlight is turned off. It would be nice to live so close to a good city.
