Detroit: An American Autopsy--#49 finished

A newspaper reporter that grew up in Detroit and worked at the NY Times, returns to Detroit to work at local paper.  He covers much of the local terrible news going on with the corruption in City Hall, deserted neighborhoods, rampant crime and on and on.  A really depressing read about what was once a great city.  This slide into despair didn't happen over night but has been decades in making.  Book was published in 2013 so maybe a start of a turn around is happening, not really sure but would hope so at least.  A really good read, very interesting even if also depressing.

There are like 4 WL for the book so will post it at some point & send if on.
