I thought you sounded hollow

So Dayton is empty. Deserted. Hollow.
Or, at least, that's what Forbes wants us to believe. It states, "Cities like Detroit and Dayton are casualties of America's lengthy industrial decline." I suppose that means things like the nearby GM plant closing.
When I was interning for a different paper, I was one of the people that had to to do the "Word on the Street" type piece and ask people their reaction on the plant closing. I went to one lady who had no clue about what was going to happen. She was in shock. I was in shock that she was so upset...until I realized that I had just broken the news that her husband would soon be out of a job. I felt terrible.
I think Forbes should feel terrible, too. I don't think it is as bad as they claim. I mean, I don't know much, but I was just talking to a WSU professor this morning who believes all we need is a positive spirit like he does and we can turn this city around in no time.
Or maybe he was just full of himself.

That's So Shway

There's a new show on Comedy Central called Important Things with Demetri Martin. I think you should check it out. Demetri has a different kind of humor, but does a good job making an entire 30 min. show out of it. It's on at 10:30 EST after South Park. You can watch it and tell me what you think.
