Hello Detroit - Bank of America is here...
They announced there prescence in Detroit in full page ads in the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press with a close up and bad photo of the Joe Louis fist - which they thought represented Detroit - bad faux pas / error. I thought it was insulting to all Detroiters and to the Metro area.
They could have used the Joe Louis statue, the Dodge fountain, the UAW sculpture or a combo of both, RenCen photo, a overview photo of downtown, gathered a group of Detroiters and use a photo of them, but NO - they used the Fist, which has been the center of debate since its was installed. Detroit and its residents are owed an explanation of why this piece of sculpture was selected to respresent Detroit - Why???
I don't think it should represent Detroit - or its efforts to reinvent and restore itself as a city of promise and diversity.
What do you think????
