  • Detroit should sell the Mansion, the city could use the money. The past mayor's all had nice homes. How many big city's offer homes for their mayor's?
  • Kwame was an embarresement to this city and should be charged with treason. Just like his hack mom and dad, of course if he was my cousin like every other brother in the city I could have gotten a sweet job!
  • I would like to see the in side of the Manoogian Mansion
