Detroit bankruptcy and me

fiction
edward w pritchard

I've been to Detroit, twice. Once in 1964 for a once day family vacation. One hot Summer day, on a whim my Mother insisted that my Father pack up the five children and her in our decrepit Rambler station wagon and head up to Detroit for a one day vacation. We stopped at the bargain store and bought an aluminum folding chair to take along. Later I went on business to Detroit Michigan, I found out Detroit has a run down casino, a proper strip club and that you shouldn't walk alone from your luxury hotel to the hockey stadium under any circumstances.

Now I hear Detroit wants to file bankruptcy. I don't know anyone in Detroit. I am however concerned about Detroit. I am a baseball fan and I want to see the Detroit Tigers in the playoffs race against my local Cleveland Indians. I propose if a technicality can't be rigged up in Washington, or Wall Street, or by Michigan politicians to save the public sector pensions in Detroit Michigan soon that we have the citizens of Denver, Colorado or Boise Idaho bail out Detroit. I don't know anybody in Denver or Boise.
