There is a "grocery store" myth related to Detroit, and it is just that, a myth. There a numerous markets and stores in Midtown and Downtown that supply fresh food to residents.
Edit: I lived downtown for nearly a year and a number of grocery stores opened in the downtown business district while I lived there, with plans for more. According to this article [1] from 5 days ago, there are 80 grocery stores in Detroit. Not to mention the awesome Eastern Market year-round farmer's market.

- growdetroit 14y agoWould love to have you build on this...do you live in the area?
- smalter 14y agoI used to live in Eastern Market in Downtown and could get fresh food there all the time. Edit: You can buy fresh everything in Eastern Market every day of the week, not just during the market on Sundays.
- mgkimsal 14y ago80 stores serving 700,000+ people, in an area with poor mass transit, is not that much. There's ~800k people in Macomb County, and there's > 170 grocery stores.
