I actually lived in the city my first year of life. Both sets of my grandparents lived in the city and visited them many times. Also saw the Detroit Tigers baseball team play many times and have crossed the Detroit River via the Ambassador Bridge into Windsor, Ontario a few times. I have been all through Detroit. It used to be a nice city bur outside of the downtown it is more like a slum now with abandoned houses, closed factories and pot holes in the streets. Basically, just poor people and drug dealers live there now. Very sad. Michigan is actually quite scenic but Detroit is an eyesore.
