First one should also say "I'm trying to learn as much as I can about this neighborhood and it has a rich history that people celebrate. I could not be more happy with being welcomed by people who deserve respect for the heritage that surrounds me." Read more

Wow. Reading through the comments here, you Detroiters are lucky anyone does anything for you. Every hit this gets on youtube will be a reminder to someone that Detroit is worth saving. If even one person does something about it...volunteers, sends money, whatever, then this has been a huge success. Read more

So the thing that people who are minimizing what Beyonce did here is that supporting Detroit isn't a binary operation where there's only one right way to do it. Read more

I feel it's a well-meant PR move. But she may be one of the first people (I've seen) to publicly put out this message of love for Detroit, who actually has the ability to do anything with her life geographically and monetarily... That won't do anything of lasting value for Detroit. Read more

KISS, Eminem, Mr. Ted Nugent, Bob Seger, Stevie Wonder, Rucka Rucka Ali and Kid Rock are also from the "Paris of the west" (what you call Detroit), it's not just MoTown artists. Not to mention Christie Brinkley, Kristen Bell, Tim Meadows, and Tom Selleck.

Detroit's got it all figured out. They don't want no hipsters with their influx of revenue and diversification of industry. Just keep things the way they are and it's all gonna get better any day now. Read more

I find it amusing and a little ironic that anti-hipster graffiti (graffito?) uses the word "homogenization". I would have sprayed "GTFO" and ran off... Read more

Thank god for this sign. The problem with hipsters is that they are soooo bleeding-edge with their hipness that they are too hip to even be hipsters.
