OK, usually we ATLers deal with massive, world spanning things, so let's shrink down our perspective a little. How do we change the status of an OTL city that is in decline into one of world prominence. For example, we all know NYC and LA to be mega cities, rich, influential, etc. But other cities, like Cincinnati, Detroit, or De Moines are usually not considered one of the world's great cities. So how do we change this? Let's take Detroit as an excample. In fact, I can't think of anyone saying nice things about Detroit (with all apologies to Detroiters here). How can we fiddle with its history so that is now, in 2004, one of teh world's great metropolises with a bright future?
