YouTube Friday-The Detroit You've Never Met - Part One of Three
Here's an interesting video I found while taking a peek around YouTube. This video, from user GrandOleDetroit , is for Detroit's bid for the 1968 Olympic Games. It tells about why Detroit should be considered as a potential host city for the '68 games. The video I'm blogging about today is the first of three uploaded. The man in the screen capture is Jerome Cavanagh, the mayor at the time. Many people remember when Detroit and the downtown area looked like this in the not-so-distant past.
