Economy Inn: Motel-Low Rates

Shortly after I walked past this inexpensive motel on my way to the bus stop, I saw one of the fabled Detroit stray dog packs, just trotting down the street like they owned it.  I was a little bit surprised to see them (the dog pack), because I was in a fairly busy and populated part of town.

Why do foundations think they can run the world with their money?

It irritates me that the Kresge Foundation thinks that they get to decide how public transportation gets planned in the City of Detroit, rather than the elected officials.  They want a light rail from Downtown to New Center, which is only a few minutes by bus.  Ride the damn bus you rich a-holes! The decision to add more and faster bus routes throughout the region, rather than a light rail up and down one street was the better option toward fixing the public transportation problems in Detroit.

Don't wait too close to the splash-puddle

Sometimes it seems like cars purposely try to splash people who are standing there waiting for the bus.  I have been standing here and had cars change lanes and speed up just to try and splash the people waiting.
