You Go Detroit!
POV - Chrystal J. Edwards - Detroit

It just wasn't in the cards for Stephen Curry and Davidson College to move forward to the Final Four. Kansas outstanding defense kept that from happening. Blocking Curry was a necessary thing to do enabling him not to get off that last shot. He is just that good!

Davidson College basketball players are a talented and determined bunch, so this will not be the last we see of them.

What I really want to talk about is how I enjoyed the entire weekend in Downtown Detroit. I was fortunate to attend the (2) Sweet Sixteen Games on Friday and the Elite Eight Game on Sunday.

Excitement, Cheers, Anticipation are the adjectives that come to mind.

If our mayor's woes were expected to be a distraction, it did not happen. You see, I took notice and listened, watched and walked. Believe me, I walked!



No one, I mean no one walked with any urgency. The Detroit residents, suburbanite's, and visitors moved around downtown like they did not have a care in the world. Though the police was quite visible, I did not see anyone be disruptive or disrespectful to our Landmarks.

On Sunday, though it was not opened to the public, people watched the Detroit Tigers practice for Monday's opening from the outside gates of Comerica Park. I'm sure that was a treat to see two fabulous structures parallel to each other.

I walked by restaurants and other entertainment venues ( Hard Rock, Chelios, Gem, etc.), I had a great hamburger at the Checker Bar, and told my nephew, what an absolute boost to Detroit's economy, not to mention the area hotel accommodations.

Detroit, this past weekend you displayed GREATNESS for all to see, but I did not expect anything less!
