i took a walk through this beautiful world felt the cool rain on my shoulder found something good in this beautiful world i felt the rain getting colder sha la la la la sha la la la la la la sha la la la la sha la la la la la la it s where nearly everything american and great came from. the things the whole world wanted made here. the heart, the soul, the beat of an industrial, cultural superpower. a magnet for everyone with a dream of a better future, from eastern europe to the deep south. american dream, you came here. the one straight ahead with the green roof? yep, the big rococo building, completely empty. empty. unbelievable. the white one is being rehabbed. there s some money coming in. the one next to it on the right is completely empty. the gray pyramid with the spire on top sold for $5 million. $5 million for that? you can t buy a garage in the hamptons for that basically. $5 million for a skyscraper. it is post-apocalyptic. i mean,
and we clean up the abandoned parks and playgrounds in this town. why would you do that? kids need a place to play. i don t care who you are, if you re under ten years old, i think you deserve some justice in this world, don t you think? yeah. yeah. how did this thing start? i guess i started it. i bought a lawn tractor when the city announced they were closing 72 parks. what s the difference betweein being opened and close? they re just going to stop maintaining it? that s it. or do they actually physically shut it up? no, no, they don t physically shut it up. because there s no money in here, ya know. to physically shut it up. yeah, they just take the trash barrels away and stop mowing. crazy. it s. it s a strange place, detriot. when we re done here, it will not look like a nice park. but still a playable park. yeah. and a visible park. so if you had kids, you could see what they re doing in this park. it s safer. all right. well, let s cut some grass.
