Monroe is dying a long putrid death.
Everytime I go there something else is closing.
Everytime I go there things are just a little more depressing then the last time I was there.
I think of Monroe as little Flint.
All the manufacturing jobs are gone, and all that are left are cheap, falling house prices and drug users.
My advice for the intelligent people still there - get out while you can.
After DTE leaves - and they will - it is going to complete its transformation into little Flint.
