In July of 2013 Detroit filed bankruptcy, the largest major municipality to ever do so.  The internet and media outlets exploded with negative articles, videos and images depicting Detroit as a vast urban wasteland and failed city.  Not surprisingly, negative perceptions still widely exist to this day.

This purpose here is to portray Detroit as accurately as possible.  We will show examples of progress and positive changes that have been made and recognize those people and organizations who have been working hard to restore Detroit and bring it back,  The goal here is to simply search for the the real Detroit as it is currently,  understand what challenges lie ahead and to show people plans that are being drawn up and executed that will take Detroit to the better future that lies ahead.
