Oh, I'll bet. Different worlds. Heavy urban vs. suburban.
My sister-in-law still lives in "Detroit." Moved from Clawson to Birmingham (I think) a year or two ago. Her daughter is at Northern Michigan.
I had a GREAT time when we lived there being a TV director. We had both the Republican National Convention at Cobo/Joe Louis and Superbowl XVI at the Silverdome among other stuff during my time in Detroit. I was just looking at some videotape of the newscasts I directed there the other day. I think the only anchors from that era still on the air are Robbie Timmons at Channel 7 and Murray Feldman who is still at Channel 2 (which was a CBS affilliate back then). Actually, Jerry Hodak may still be on the air. I know Ray Lane and Sonny Elliot are gone, and Joe Glover is teaching college somewhere in Florida.
We lived basically at 12 and Woodward and the station is on 9 Mile between Greenfield and Southfield.
Good times. People are still amazed, though, when I say I enjoyed living in Detroit.
