The whole city has gone to waste mostly. Dilapidated buildings flood the whole area. This is what happens when you mix poverty and a lack of pride together; one could argue the later is a direct result of poverty. Take a stroll down Robinwood, Hollywood and Brentwood off of Woodward after picking up some Dutch Girls (best doughnuts around). Detroit does have some very nice pockets throughout the city and not just Indian Village, English Village, Boston Edison or Palmer Park. I'm hopeful the city can revive itself, but it starts with the people who reside there.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Tiger</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 12 Mar 2011 11:12:04 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: What in the world has happened to easter?</title><link>http://www.cruzweb.net/2008/03/19/what-in-the-world-has-happened-to-easter/#comment-163067963</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Easter in the hood.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Guest</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 09 Mar 2011 13:11:29 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Campaign For Liberty Banner</title><link>http://www.cruzweb.net/2008/08/12/campaign-for-liberty-banner/#comment-161614043</link><description>&lt;p&gt;That banner looks really good.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Banner Printing</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 06 Mar 2011 22:51:15 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Detroit de Burgundy: The Worst  flag ever discovered</title><link>http://www.cruzweb.net/2009/08/09/detroit-de-burgundy/#comment-160725537</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I think the detroit flag is sweet too.

There were good people and their church takes as best care of the grounds as possible.  I resent the comments you have made about Trinity Cemetery "being creepy."  You did not do a very good job of portraying it.

I didn't get the feeling that it was any worse than some of the areas in Los Angeles, or Birmingham. The main blight on this area is indeed the old Packard Plant. That whole area needs to be leveled and allowed to reforest. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Bigbadvoodoodavid</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 13 Sep 2010 16:46:49 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The Disturbing world of Facebook&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;Speed Date&amp;#8221; application</title><link>http://www.cruzweb.net/2009/07/23/the-disturbing-world-of-facebooks-speed-date-application/#comment-65631064</link><description>&lt;p&gt;This is damn funny for a sleepless nite reading which i happen to came across while searching for my MISSING "Speed-Date" Application hahaha...makes me LOL..cant stop laughing now..oh MAN..i wonder what would be the caption underneath my pic if we ever got matched wid each other ...this kinda squashed my hope of finding someone to talk to during these insomnia nites..+_+:)&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Ocy3_foreva</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 01 Aug 2010 17:42:15 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The Epic Love Story of Sierra and Gary</title><link>http://www.cruzweb.net/2009/06/07/the-epic-lovestory-of-sierra-and-gary/#comment-63718539</link><description>&lt;p&gt;But you evidently didn't learn from your mistakes? &lt;br&gt;You really haven't made yourself sound any better have you...&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Lora</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 22 Jul 2010 10:35:59 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Fiat Money, Sovereignty, and the Euro</title><link>http://www.cruzweb.net/2010/05/24/fiat-money-sovereignty-and-the-euro/#comment-59727190</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey we've been reading your blog and we love what you've been posting!

The man is NOT anyone of the things you say he looks like. He happens to be a substitute teacher and the kids all know him and say hes a good guy.&lt;br&gt;It's pretty disgusting that you would make comments about a person about which you know nothing about.&lt;br&gt; Saying  disgusting accusations like that ..... You should be ashamed of yourself.&lt;br&gt;Be a man and admit you were wrong to say what you said and apologize in public before you cause harm to someone who's only wish is to make a few extra bucks to help feed his family.&lt;br&gt;Of course you are probably too gutless to admit that you have no clue what you are talking about.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">mactheref</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 13 Apr 2010 00:41:42 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Uncle Ron&amp;#8217;s Ice Cream</title><link>http://www.cruzweb.net/2008/06/05/uncle-rons-ice-cream/#comment-44536928</link><description>&lt;p&gt;FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO READ THIS AND HAVE ANY DOUBTS ABOUT THE BEST ICE CREAM MAN YOU COULD MEET, PLEASE READ: this man is a substitute teacher as well as an ice cream man after hours and in the summer. a long, well known, respected man in our community. he has lived and worked in our community his entire life here and is loved by all who know him. he is a dedicated worker in both jobs he performs. children love him. parents love him. his peers and co-workers love him. he is a trustworthy person and if anyone had simply five minutes with him, you would discover this. he is the perfect example in not to judge a person by the way they look. he may indeed own a Harley. so what.( Harley's ARE cool)! what???? if you look a certain way YOU  MUST BE BAD? you  must be a drug dealer? a rapist? what if he had long hair??????? (check out the author). it takes all kinds to make the world go 'round and i kinda liked having an ice cream man that was as cool and different as  he was. HE is extremely intelligent and always offering up something to make your day.....and to so many. we could all only be so lucky......he has set examples on how ONE should be. hardworking, honest, loving, and a contributing factor to our declining moral society.  &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">danielle_bartholomew</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 12 Apr 2010 21:43:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Welcome to Mt.
