How white is your neighbourhood? Detroit actually made me gasp out loud.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Wow, fascinating. Baltimore is still very segregated (not shocking, it's pretty hard to not realize this).

I mean, I knew that about Detroit. I lived there. I read the articles. I got the stares. But every time I see the pictures it makes me so sad.

I'm actually impressed that MexicanTown shows up on the Detroit map. I thought it was an exercise in hype and restaurant marketing. I can't work out Dearborn though.
