Detroit Science Center may close for good.
Here's a link to the Detroit Free Press article on this topic, followed by my letter.

Here's my Letter to the paper on this possibility.
Dear Editor:
It would be a huge loss for our community, and the future of our City were the Detroit Science Center to close for good. In my opinion, the ideal option would be for The Henry Ford museum to purchase the Science Center, and make it a satellite of their Museum and Greenfield Village operations. The Henry Ford has the name recognition, the resources, and most importantly the expertise to successfully manage and improve the Science Center. And after all, the Ford Motor Company started in the heart of Detroit. It's appropriate that Henry Ford's namesake cultural landmark have a presence in our Cultural Center.
I would definitely become a member of The Henry Ford society were this to happen.
The philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre once wrote that "Hell is other people." In the firm belief that Sartre was right, I will periodically identify those people who create Hell on earth! This designation is not a traditional award. It certainly is not an achievement; rather, it's a mischievement. It's not something that one strives for; nor is the designation won. By action or words or both, certain people deserve metaphorical, if not actual, eternal damnation. Enjoy.
