Dear NPR: Thanks for coming to Detroit, but you still can't spell "Grosse Pointe Blank" right on your website

NPR did a nicely even-handed job this week on covering the problems and potential of The D and its environs, called "Remaking Michigan, Retooling Detroit."

I have thoughts on many of the pieces, but for now wanted to highlight a couple that strike closely to my pop-culture-driven heart:

=> Why can't Detroit cash in on its music scene?

=> Detroit as seen through the filter of the movies.

Discuss.
