    Tree Work in Detroit? (or other hard-hit cities)

    Great article Kevin. I too can't understand why so many states are going with charter schools, unless they see a way that it'll save them money? Kevin, if I lived in the Detroit area and had young kids that needed to go to school, I would really see if there was a way to home school them...

    Tree Work in Detroit? (or other hard-hit cities)

    Thanks for posting the article Kevin. I will have to read it tonight, as I'm actually leaving in a few minutes to go climb in the city today. Should be a warmer day than yesterday. I'm glad that you mentioned kids, as there is no doubt that they will play a huge role in Detroit's future...

    Maybe not a Detroit like the 50's with the autos, but some other trades skill type of jobs?

    Tree Work in Detroit? (or other hard-hit cities)

    Liberal America because of all the monies that Libs have given towards programs in Detroit, only to have it wasted by officials both in the public and private sector. Like you said Kevin, Detroit workers (many union and non-union) expect "fair" pay to push buttons that robots can do. They lack...

    Tree Work in Detroit? (or other hard-hit cities)

    Many people say that Detroit is the poster child for what Liberal America has become, with many cities heading that way soon. I remember driving through Camden NJ and feeling like I was in a future wasteland of a city.

    Tree Work in Detroit? (or other hard-hit cities)

    That's what I want to know too. How can Detroit even begin to recover to be what they once were?

    Tree Work in Detroit? (or other hard-hit cities)

    Kevin, I really take my hat off to you for doing tree work in the Detroit area. Not so much for its dangerous neighborhoods (which we know are out there), but more so for sticking it out in an area that just seems to keep going downhill. You guys that keep doing business in the area are the...

    Kevin, does the city view stuff like this as up and coming wanna be Y.B.I. gangs?

    Tree Work in Detroit? (or other hard-hit cities)

    Thanks for insights Kevin! I do suppose knowing people there helps. I grew up in the hills of NH and never really knew anyone in the cities expect a few cousins. I do remember visiting them in the early 70's when there were an awful lot of heroin junkies on the streets, a lot of them just back...

    Tree Work in Detroit? (or other hard-hit cities)

    I just got done watching one of the most depressing documentaries on the rise and decline of the "Motor City" Detroit. So many reasons that things went wrong there, but my question first is how do people do tree work in crime ridden neighborhoods? Do you lock everything up and have someone stand...
