    More People Mover Fun!

    Oh, why not? It's Friday, and can you really get enough of Detroit's favorite four-bit boondoggle, the People Mover? Reading the article on Wikipedia, we were amazed at some of the more pertinent points in the 'Mover's 18-year history. For example, the implosion of the Hudson's building in '98 damaged the track, completely knocking the system out of service for two months, and leaving it limping along for another year. RenCen construction kept it from running its full loop for two years. We can't think of any other city we've visited with such an ill-conceived farce of a light rail system. Still, we can't help but love the damn thing. It's the freakin' People Mover, ferrchrissakes!
