10 U.S. cities in economic free fall (Detroit didn't make the list)

Detroit didn't make the list because it had already fallen years ago.

Yeah.

####### is up with Florida?

[Darnell 8,479]

Florida? I thought was retirement areas - the old people die off, skew the numbers a lot.

[CDAgirlMI 51]

Ha, yeah Detroit's been in the hole forever.

Michigan has the higest un-employment in the country.

Detroit homes sell for less than some vehicles.

Detroit did make one list recently. #4 in the "world's most dangerous cities" list.

I've been to Texas once & am trying to find an excuse to go back.

[Danno 1,228]

Nothing wrong with TX.
