Riding zombies to coolness


Remember when Gov. Jenny Granholm wanted Michigan to develop “cool” cities. We admittedly don’t have many. Ann Arbor is probably tops, unless some crazy guy sets up shop in the U-M diag to warn co-eds about the end of the world. East Lansing, Grand Rapids are also nice.
Frankenmuth? That’s a mystery. Why people come by the busload from Canada just to eat fried chicken, I’ll never know.
Now a website called Business Insider has come up with a list of “hot” cities and ranked Detroit No. 7. Here’s the reasoning: “Young idealists are moving back to Detroit… with their small businesses many of which are socially and environmentally responsible… like Recycle Here! and Food Lab Detroit.” I also hear that developers hope to turn a large chunk of abandoned factory turf into a zombie park, where visitors can flee flesh-eaters. Do I need to say that we're talking about fake zombies?
