6782 A really nice companion piece to Detroit: City on The Move except this time, the film was made for the US Olympic committee, who were having second thoughts of supporting the big when rumors of Detroit's financial problems began swirling. The Mayor and the Governor come out to make speeches (The Governor's is quite spirited!). Some great promises are made here about Olympic sites that of course were never built. I like this one better then the other film. Highly reccomended! (and probably never will) Spuzz 2003-10-14 07:45:29 2003-10-14 07:45:29 4 Wow. I bet Jerry Cavanaugh was crossing his fingers a lot behind his back as he made all those promises, but who could blame him? Anyway, this is a fascinating film for longtime Detroiters. It doesn't give a very balanced view of the city as it was though certainly it was way ahead of where it would fall within the next 15-20 years. After Jerry Cavanaugh, things started to go to pot. Of course Mayor Archer started the ball rolling again in the 90's but the Kwame Kilpatricks of the world kinda stopped that. Anyway it's nice to see what could have been in an optimistic time. A Detroit I never knew--and I grew up there! thundrmi 2009-08-13 21:33:12 2009-08-13 21:33:12 4 2 4.00
