Song/Video about Detroit’s Industrial Glory Days By Canadian Artist

By Justin on October 30th, 2008, 6:02 pm 0 Comments

I thought this was kinda cool, because a few of the shots in the video resemble ones i’ve taken myself. I do think it’s strange that Sam Roberts wrote a song about Detroit though, seeing how he’s not from this area.

Nice shout out to the Ambassador Bridge!
