One fine morning an officer of the Detroit PD pulled me over and said, "don't bother stopping for red lights around here, someone will steal your wheel covers or worse!"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05766899223057762170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080856067525022836.post-37691716763488002812013-05-08T11:29:05.200-04:002013-05-08T11:29:05.200-04:00Thanks for sending me the photos.

That's a city of contrasts too. Some areas are amazing, some are a disaster.
