Because all of the problems of the core cities have now been solved, PBS is airing a documentary on the "waning" suburbs, reports Cynthia Boyd on MinnPost. Local PBS station TPT will show "The New Metropolis" at 8 p.m. on Sunday, May 1.
I look forward to an even-handed, non-judgemental portrayal of life beyond the city limits. What? Cynical you say? Check out the slide show on The New Metropolis' website. It alternates "Father Knows Best"-type photos, with shots of decay and decline. Scenes not to be found, in say, Detroit?
