My cousin has his own funeral parlor (talk about making money!) in Detroit and a lot of the processes he talks about is REALLY intricate. You can't be some ghoul that just throws a body into coffin or a furnace. It HELPS that he's a ghoul though!
And sports leagues have been trying their HARDEST to keep lesser franchises out of their championships! That's why I love this OKC vs. Indiana Finals so much (love it more if Detroit was in it, but at least the Knicks got put out) NBA and news media has no choice to but to acknowledge these smaller markets.
I was born in 86… so I missed them super live days… I was there for family reunions and senior skip days… by the way the state fucked up Belle Isle… that was meeting spot for the eastside and westside, now it ain’t nothing but state police and the others
