It built the thing that destroyed itself, the car. We built the car to leave the city, so isnt that ironic . Just 40the richest years ago. We were the richest city, and now we are the poorest, and now you cannot buy a cadillac in the town settled by cadillac. So what happened to detroit happened. I am more interested in what is going to happen and if i can make it better for all of our kids, and im interested in that. There used to be so much money here. They talk about the saturday night drives up and down woodward, and you got a new car every other year, and there were so many jobs that you could go across the streets to the other supplier i get another job until your boss to screw it. We were rocking. We had the greatest schools and graduates, so we did not take advantage of it because cars were our life and then things changed. After the oil, people did not want the cars.

He also did the designs for this huge and very successful, while it lasted, midway gardens, which was a big, big garden and conserve card that took up a whole city block in chicago and had indoor and Outdoor Entertainment and no person in the summer of 1914 just before it was burned down. In fact, he was working on the final details of it when he got the news. Those plans would have been done here as well. There was a number of pretty famous places.
