Greg Marnier, Marney to his friends, has a story to tell about leaving a job he didn't much like and what happened to him when he moved to Detroit, Michigan, in 2011, where an old friend had a big idea about real estate and the revitalization of a once great American city.

Everyone else calls it "New Jamestown." Marney used to live there before Robert himself asked him to leave.
