Every now and again I get this feeling that something that is pretty universally "not worth anyone's time" has become so uncool, that it just sort of feels cool. I'll never forget the first time I got this feeling. I was in high school, and despite the fact that everyone I knew was wearing super baggy jeans, I felt like it might be interesting to try slim fitting ones. Needless to say, times have changed.
I realize that's somewhat of an unrelated circumstance, but it's the same exact feeling I got when I decided to buy an apple computer in 2005 (I took some heat for that one at the time), and the same feeling that provoked me to buy into Facebook when all the journalists were hating on it ($19, woo!).
Now I'm getting that feeling about Detroit. I'm hearing bits and pieces about artists moving there, which is always the first sign of gentrification, and it's just sort of made me curious as to how everyone else feels about the future city.
Thoughts?
