I visited Detroit for the first time this past weekend, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it- beautiful, clean downtown area (much cleaner than SF), a very lively art scene (many artists ARE moving there for the cheap rent), many new bars and restaurants, a growing community of people that care and want to see the city improve.
- mikestew 12y agoIf you just visited the downtown area, some would argue that you didn't see the "real" Detroit. I might be one to make that argument had I been to Detroit in the last 15 years. Tell you what, could you do me a favor and catch a bus up to around 6 Mile Road and Woodward Ave. and let me know how things are looking? :-) (Seriously, though, unless Detroit has undergone some hard-core gentrification in the last decade, please don't do that.)
