IT'S ALL GUCCI IN DOWNTOWN DETROIT
Gucci becomes one of the first international fashion houses to set up shop in Detroit, Michigan, it's gotta say something about the Motor City. It's here, on Library Street, that Gucci's latest location will open its doors on August 22.

There's something to be said about lingering inequality in a poverty-stricken city with majority Black residents — Duggan's critics claim that his improvements to downtown Detroit haven't yet spread across the rest of the city — but there's been encouraging progress in an area that's been historically blighted.
Duggan's most recent State of The City address, for instance, highlighted Detroit's protections for affordable housing, equitable job training programs, and even the city's shift from being a "Ruin Porn" destination.

Detroit was named one of the World’s Greatest Places by TIME in 2022 and its economic future is described as "resilient" even while navigating COVID-19 fallout.

I wonder how long it will take until that nice picture above turns into this:

This probably does not describe the area where Gucci set up shop

Well, maybe they can write off all the “unplanned donations”

If I had a choice between Detroit or New Orleans/Baton Rouge…I would choose Detroit.

This will end quickly and not well.

They’ve had a bit of a downtown revitalization

Lots of 100% discount vouchers will be utilized.

Downtown Detroit really isn't that terrible. Outside of downtown is not nice at all though until you get to the suburbs. Unlike Nola where the entire place is a dump

Downtown Detroit entertainment district ain’t too shabby. Definitely a lot nicer than other democrat run cities.

It’s gonna get broken into and the blame will be stupid shite like classism and economic racism

Detroit has made a great turn around. When’s the last time you were there Henry?
Many southern cities with similar demographics could use some pointers from Detroit.

detroit being the end all be all of crime/danger is pretty dated. BR and New Orleans are much worse.
