Documentary on "Waning" Suburbs to Air

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?
