L. Brooks Patterson Slams Detroit: ‘The Truth Hurts… Tough S***’

L. Brooks Patterson Slams Detroit: ‘The Truth Hurts… Tough S***’ « CBS Detroit:
"“Anytime I talk about Detroit, it will not be positive.
Therefore, I’m called a Detroit basher,” he said.
”The truth hurts, you know?
Tough s***.”

The 75-year-old Republican went on to say he warned his children never to travel to Detroit.
“I used to say to my kids, ‘First of all, there’s no reason for you to go to Detroit.
We’ve got restaurants out here.’
They don’t even have movie theatres in Detroit — not one,” he said.

Patterson said the one thing Detroit offers that the suburbs can’t is live sports – and even then a trip to the city is quite risky. 
“For that, fine — get in and get out,” he said. 
“But park right next to the venue — spend the extra 20 or 30 bucks.
And, before you go to Detroit, you get your gas out here.
You do not, do not, under any circumstances, stop in Detroit at a gas station! 
That’s just a call for a carjacking.”"
