John Gallagher spoke to the Club on September 10th about the decline and rebirth of the city of Detroit. He compared this to the decline of newspapers, including the Detroit Free Press, where he worked for 32 years. But as with the Free Press, which is still going strong with a much smaller staff than when Gallager started there, Detroit is rebounding with a smaller population. His talk was a promotion for his new memoir titled
Rust Belt Reporter.
