Nikki's Window
Essentially, Herron complain's about how people attempting to bring back what Detriot was doesn't exactly help relive the past. Not only that, but it seems like he doesn't appreciate how areas of historical value are being ignored and used for more contemporary things. For example, Herron talked about how there were arcades and more modern and generic restaurants were taking over the city of Detriot. It seems like the only reason Detriot is hanging onto places ,like Greektown, is because newer generations crave for what was of their past, and no one is ready to let go just yet. There is no real sense of history in Detriot because a majority of older buildings have been revamped. It's like having a friend buy a pair of irreplaceable sunglasses from the 50's and gluing rhinestones on it. Not only did those awesome pair of shades lose it's value, but it's looks ridiculous and you want laugh at them for doing something so silly. And it's basically how Herron feels about Detriot. The greatness of what was Detriot and having it remade is the wrong and embarassing way to go. There is no concrete feel of the past, and it's a shame because that's the one thing people seem to want to somehow relive.
