"The DIA is a huge opportunity for me to answer that question in a positive way. It's an economic development tool for me."

Has he so quickly forgotten where the Chrysler (R.I.P.) World Headquarters used to sit before moving out of to the 'burbs?

That vendors and reps DREADED visiting there because, some of them, literally feared for their lives?

Yeah, I can just hear Brooks now describing the visiting the DIA "in a positive way":

Oh yeah, we have this great art museum called the DIA.

First, only take the freeway when you're going there.

You don't want to take any of the surface streets. It's not safe.

Once you get off the freeways, make sure that your windows are rolled up and your doors locked at all times.

Since you're not from around here, I'd advise ignoring those red lights and stop signs, too.

I wouldn't want to hear about you getting carjacked. You really don't wanna know how many people are killed in Detroit every week.

And once you do find the museum, good luck finding a safe parking spot.

The Farnsworth Structure has been closed for months. The Science Center lot has irregular hours, at best. The CCS kids can't drive if their life depended on it. And for God's sake: NEVER park on a side street. You may not have a car when you get back.

Other than that, enjoy the Art Museum.

Hey, wait! Wheryagoin???
