and the Metro Times wonders why Movement isn't financially successful. Earth to the city of Detroit: to attract tourism dollars, you have to provide a safe environment, easy transportation, and places for people to spend those dollars. Festival shootings, con-artist cabbies, shady hotels, and a shuttered downtown -- especially when there's 300,000 thirsty partygoers just across Jefferson -- do not provide an environment that many are willing to return to. Lineup announcement be damned; THIS is what people are concerned about when they consider travelling to Detroit.
