what do you think the top brass are talking about right now? they're clearly reacting to this situation? is it possible to get ahead of this now or are they going to continue to react? >> i think in some ways they're reactive. it's kind of our national past time is to be reactive to events like this. they're trying hard to refine their processes. and we see part of that in the way that north com has responded to these things, much more frequent, much more engaged, clearly everyone from the radar operators to the fighter pilots is doing what they can to make sure that they know what's going on and that they take care of the issue based on the president's direction. so, that's something where they're trying to be very proactive. and i think they're trying to manage the public expectations at this particular point. and that, of course, is all of us, a very tough challenge. >> well, colonel cedric leighton, juliet kei m, thank you so much. an f-16 was ordered by

♪ somewhere in this unassuming neighborhood, one can sit down for an excellent meal. but you won't find this place on yelp, and unfortunately, i cannot tell you where it is exactly. why not, you ask. it's not exactly a restaurant, you see, which means it's not, strictly speaking, legal. >> what is this place? >> pupusa house? i call it pupusa house. like a -- >> they come. so, this is about as traditional as it gets right here. >> it's just like home. >> yeah. >> this is what's called a pupusa house. literally, a house, this one serving home-cooked salvadoran meals. once the living room, now the main dining room.

the woman running it, we can't show her face, but she's serving a salvadoran clientele looking for a taste of home. first a staple done differently than the norm, tamales wrapped in banana leaf and steamed. >> delicious. >> next, the dish of the house, pupusas, tortillas stuffed with ground meat. >> you can get pupusas in guatemala, but for some reason, salvadoran pupusas get the most respect. >> general consensus seems to be they're the best. >> how come? >> george azar is our detroit fixer. he's been coming here with his friend, joe, for years. >> this is what makes it cool. >> it's just a pickled slaw. >> salsa. and i do this, but i don't know if you can hang, man. >> what are you saying? is it a manly thing? >> it's turning into it seems like.

mexican spicy, salvadoran, not spacey. >> that's true. they don't do it that spicy. >> wow. chich roan. >> fried pork and ground pepper lg. >> took the liberty of ordering detroit beverages that we've egregiously overlooked so far. it's a cross between ginger beer and ginger ail. it's not as spicy as ginger beer but not as sweet as ginger ail. >> i need this to enhance my street cred in detroit. maybe i will be welcomed back. >> this is where it's at. god lives in there. >> butter, garlic, simple, delicious. >> it's the low fat butter. >> that's good. that's good. it's like a big hug. >> how did you find your way here? >> honestly, it's word of mouth. >> you have annoying foodie websites, right? >> true. but they're not coming here.

>> they're not coming here? >> oh, no. you walk around detroit. >> there are thousands of foodies with ironic sunglasses and fedoras, and they're just waiting to get in here. >> we don't want this place -- i get mad at him when he starts bringing in different people. >> really? you would hate a two-hour wait to get in here? >> yes, yes, yes. >> i don't want to wait for my plate. >> who hates money? >> with her, it's not about the money. it's about keeping the tradition alive. >> what happens when a city goes bankrupt, when it's at the point actually considering selling what's left of itself in chunks. in detroit, city services are reduced or cut out completely. fewer buses, fewer cops, fewer firefighters. answer? they turn to each other for help or figure out how to do it for themselves. detroit has a reputation as a tough town, but that toughness is about resilience, too. the insistence on sticking with it, no matter what.

on not giving up in the face of the utter failure of leadership year after year. if the city abandons its parks and leaves them to become overgrown, eaten, like so much of the rest of the city by tall grass and weeds, then somebody has got to do something. right? meet the mower gang. started by this guy, tom nardone, with the simple mission of doing what they can to keep detroit's abandoned parks maintained. who are you guys and what are you doing here? >> we are the detroit mower gang and we clean up the abandoned parks and playgrounds in this town. >> why would you do that? >> our kids need a place to play. i don't care who you are. you know, if you're under ten years old, i think you deserve some justice in this world, don't you think? >> yeah! >> yeah. >> how did this thing start? >> i guess i started it. i bought a lawn tractor when the city announced they were closing 72 parks. >> what's the difference between open and closed? you mean, they're just going to stop maintaining it? >> that's it. >> or do they actually physically shut it off. >> no, no. they don't physically shut it off because there's no money here, you know? >> just physically shut it off. >> yeah.

they just -- they just take the trash barrels away and -- and stop mowing. >> crazy! >> it's -- it's a strange place, detroit. when we're done here, it will not look like a nice park. >> but still a playable park. >> yeah. and a visible park so if you had kids, you could see what they're doing in this park. it's safer. >> all right. well, let's cut some grass. >> yeah! c'mon -- you'll like it. it's fun. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

in detroit, approximately 40 square miles have been reverted to basically unused green space. in many cities, so-called urban farming may be looked upon by cynics like me as an affectation. here in detroit it's not. with nature taking back the landscape block by block, the urban farm is really the last line of defense. d-town sits on the western border of detroit. where are we? we're in the largest park in the city which is called rouge park. >> did you just come in and start digging, or did you have permission to come in? >> we have permission to come in. >> was that difficult? >> it was very difficult. we negotiated with the city for two years. part of the difficulty was they really didn't know what hook to hang our request on. they're used to developers coming, saying i want to build a strip mall or i want to build a parking structure. but they're not used to people saying we want land to build a model organic farm. >> malik yakini started the farm with the goal of providing greater access to fresh produce in areas that grocery stores have completely abandoned. that's basically all of

detroit's inner city. other than whole foods who just came in -- >> yes. >> -- not a single national food chain? >> no. no. in 2007, farmer jack closed his last stores in detroit, and that was kind of the end of the big chains in detroit. >> this is subsistence farming, not cash crop. you're not -- you're not going to be sell -- >> no. >> -- anticipating selling outside of detroit. >> there's greater demand in detroit than all of the farmers locally can supply. so first we want to supply that local demand in the city of detroit. >> to what degree do you think that this model can be replicated in and around the city? >> well, clearly, we think urban agriculture has great potential. and one of the things that we have in detroit is access to huge amounts of land. if we're able to produce even a small percentage of the food which is consumed in detroit and circulate the revenues from that food within our community, then we're able to create a more

vibrant, healthy, economically-strong community. so we think it has tremendous potential. >> who will live in the detroit of the future? there's no question, is there, that detroit will come back in one form or another. a city this magnificent, this storied, this american cannot, will not ever disappear into the weeds. there are too few places this beautiful for it to be allowed to crumble like angkor or rome. someone will live in a smaller, tighter, no doubt hipper, much contracted new detroit. but who will that be?

will it be the people who stuck it out here? who fought block by block to keep their city from burning. who struggled to defend their homes, keep up appearances, as all around them, their neighborhoods emptied. what will detroit look like in twenty years -- or fifty? that's not just a detroit question. that's an america question
