Two interesting items in this month’s Harper’s Magazine:

End of the Road, a piece about how the decline of the Big Three is linked to declining blue-collar wages and job security, and

These Mean Streets, photos of “scenes from the abandoned city”

Neither is available online unless you are a subscriber, so you’ll have do it the old fashioned way and to pick up a magazine if you want to look at these.
