I think building casinos was the stupidest decision the City of Detroit ever made. WTF were they thinking? It started because some casinos opened across the river in Canada, and people were going over there and Mayor (at that time) Coleman Young thought Hey! They can gamble here too! Let’s build us some big-ass casinos and keep all that gambling money and JRRBZ.

What a breathtaking FAIL.

Ten years ago I worked in downtown Detroit. In order to get to my office building from the parking structure, I had to walk through the Greektown district where there was a huge casino. When it was cold outside I walked through the casino lobby which was open 24/7.

Nothing is more depressing than seeing people playing the slot machines at 6:30 AM.
