i think the Olympics in Detroit would be fun, and i actually might watch it then!
just think, the 200 meter dash would be fun to watch, as all the crazy crack heads try and attack the sprinters! lol lol give them a real reason to run! lol lol
just think, it might be like the 1987 movie The Running man! lol lol the prize is your life!
lol lol maybe a new Olympic game could be to complete a route on foot through Detroit in the fastest time, and with out getting mugged or shot
but seriously in all truth the infrastructure cost would be beyond Detroit's funds

I may be wrong but if i remember correctly detroit is kinda a bad area. I dont see how they could have an event of such magnitude safely. It does not have the facilities nor does it have the ability to carry it. I live in a big city and frankly i hope it doesnt come here. I dont need anymore traffic or headaches to make my work day harder.It does nothing for me. no matter what the government does to stimulate the economy, they always whine they have no money and need more of mine.. and frankly im tired of hearing it... let em have the olympics, political conventions, marathons, and every other thing someplace else

that's why i referenced the the movie the Running man (Youtube search it)
and your correct, it is a very poor and run down city, and its just a empty shell of a once powerful and glorious city, but now due to government there taking more than they should have, along with other troubles in the auto sector and other global economic events over the last 30 years, well Detroit is a city in ruins, and is acutally quite sad to drive around in, i have been there countless times as i pass through it to travel to other parts of Michigan or beyond Michigan, and when i go to the Detroit Auto show of course, and its a huge difference when i cross the bridge from here in Ontario, Canada, into Detroit, and its actually quite sad, and a shame,
