Detroit just can't catch a break. There's the embarrassment of Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. General Motors and Chrysler go Chapter 11. Three Detroit sports teams break our hearts by getting into the finals but NOT bringing home the trophy (Red Wings, Pistons, Tigers).

Broad Street is only #16? Fuck, my city is falling behind.
Of course, if the City of Detroit computes crime statistics with the same inefficiency they apply to keeping track of the actual numbers of teachers on the payroll, the figures may well be off and Detroit may deserve to get bumped up a few notches.
