   That makes perfect sense, but I was wondering if you just made that up,   
   so I looked up "Detroit" on urbandictionary.com.   
      
   Well, it seems that anyone holding a grudge against anything can go and   
   write a definition on UD about it, and in the case of Detroit, they all   
   did. I stopped reading after about 50 entries, with very few of them   
   saying anything remarkable, but I will remember "The city that builds   
   things and breaks people".   
      
   The city that builds things and breaks people   
   = That's Detroit, kids, the shabby place. Plunge in!
