What do you have to lose?
They don't focus on Detroit [[as both are in the 'burbs), but C&G News [[www.candgnews.com) and the Observer/Eccentric [[www.hometownlife.com) both fill this niche well.

For those ripping on Real Detroit Weekly -- have they ever claimed to be anything more than an entertainment rag? While the Metro Times is more newsy, I don't think Real Detroit does any sort of news whatsoever.
