Most people, myself included, lump Highland Park into Detroit despite technically being a separate city. Hamtrack is similar. You really don't feel like you're out of Detroit until you hit the Southfield, Ferndale, and Royal Oak areas.
- aibara 9y agoWhile I agree many people do this with Highland Park, Hamtramck is very distinct, both physically (types of houses, density) and demographically (huge immigrant populations, Polish and now Middle Eastern and South Asian). Actually, certain parts around Hamtramck (e.g. Banglatown) are often lumped with Hamtramck despite being in Detroit.
- free_everybody 9y agoI can understand that. I guess I mentally lump it with Detroit because of the arson, infrastructure issues that I associate with the city, but it is pretty unique. Thanks.
