Just when you think you’ve heard it all about Detroit, the last major supermarket chain pulls out altogether, leaving nothing but mom-and-pop stores within the city limits. In the absence of Wal-Mart and other evil, community-destroying superstores, it should be paradise, right? Right?

How could it be otherwise? But the cited article points out one little inconvenient thing —
