And, there have been many big shows in Detroit. I remember meeting Al Rosen when I was about 12 at a show here that had dealers from around the country – I paid $5 for a 1969 Mickey Mantle card. Here's the ad from a show in July, 1978.

Sorry, if you can't even handle jokes about your city... that's your problem. I come from a place that is constantly referred to as a "shit hole", and instead of acting offended or whining about it, I embrace it.... It's MY "shit hole", and I'm damn proud.
Now if you are insecure about Detroit or get upset because what people say about it is actually true, then that's something you yourself need to accept, or move.
This also applies if you are unfortunate enough to be a Red Wings fan
