A bit of airbrushing for Detroit
On Super Bowl weekend in Houston, Detroit, host of the 40th Super Bowl (“XL”) in 2006, had a presentation at the GRB convention center. This included a “mock downtown loft” (like a set for a TV show). The “windows” showed a view of downtown Detroit from the north.
Problem: the neighborhood just north of Detroit is mostly abandoned buildings, many of them burnt out. Solution: PhotoShop.
The Detroit Free Press has revealed that lights and roofs were added to buildings that lacked them. Heh.
