If something is not groovy it is human nature to make it groovy again. I believe Kierkegaard said that, or maybe it was Lee Dorsey. Whomever said it, they were right, and nowhere provides more opportunities for this than Detroit, the regroovable city.
Complaining about Detroit is akin to complaining about the weather, it doesn't change anything. What does change things is action on the part of citizens counteracting those who would make this city an ungroovy place.
The intersection of Vermont and Mark streets is one of many in the city which exudes a certain countrified look. Unfortunately the isolation which comes with this makes it ideal for illegal dumping. Someone, of the not-too-groovy persuasion, has decided to make this their personal tire dump. There are literally thousands of tires in a four square-block area. Ideally this person, or persons, would be caught and forced to clean up their mess before being sent to their rightful place in the smoldering rubber pits of hell.
Until that time, however, it takes volunteers willing to spend a couple hours of their weekend to sway things back toward the groovy side of things.

Fight on groovy people, you have them outnumbered. Ask not what your city can do for you...
Most groovy!
