> http://www.guardian.co.uk/drugs/Story/0,2763,628867,00.html At least half of that article sounds like it was pieced together from misconceived stereotypes. I wonder how much of that story actually came from first-hand experience? My experiences in Detroit have been 100% dissimilair... On a related note, did anyone else catch that Urb rated Motor the best club in the nation, unseating Buzz in DC from its two-year reign? I was really surprised to see this - and happy. I don't think I saw this mentioned here before so I thought I'd forward this from a few weeks back. > FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: > > > > Monday 12.17.01 > > > MOTOR-DETROIT NAMED "BEST CLUB IN AMERICA" by URB > MAGAZINE > > > Motor-Detroit nightclub has been named the "Best > Club in America" by the country's biggest electronic > music magazine, Urb.
