I'm also from Michigan, and living in Detroit is actually pretty cool.[1] It has great beer, good food, a low cost-of-living, great bikability, and a thriving scene of 20/30-somethings (both yuppies and not). Granted, it is a spiky place: you either love it (hit that peak) or hate it (land in those valleys). The phrase "to each their own" certainly applies. [1]: I don't live in Michigan any more, but I do visit Detroit regularly.
