Personally, I see no problem with Greektown. I think it is a great place for the people of Detroit and Michigan to spend time and money. I disagree with Jerry Herron's notion that Greektown is a place that acts as a cover up for Detroit's many problems. People who go to Greektown realize that Detroit has probelms and that the city is not all about fun and games. To me, Greektown serves as a standard that Detroit can create nice things for people to enjoy. People see Greektown and know that Detroit can create more nice places like this .
Events such as the SuperBowl and All-Star game also show how nice the city of Detroit can be. I believe that Detroit can be a great city not just for a week or two, but for a long time. The attitude surrounding Detroit must change first. People need to start believing that Detroit can change. Once this occurs, people can start to take the first steps to change Detroit. Detroit is a city filled with hard-working people who care about it enough that they are willing to help in the process. The people of Detroit and Michigan love this city and they want to see it flourish. Detroit has problems just like any other city, but we should not be afarid or humiliated by it. If we want to change Detorit, we have to become more interested and take better care of it.

I agree with this. Even if some people see this as a way of covering up, it still provides for some good times in the city, which some may have previously thought was nonexistant.
