As a 20-something Detroiter, I don't really see what other cities have to offer that Detroit lacks, other than jobs. I know that puts me in the minority. I can understand why people with degrees in...

I have been reading this forum for years, but just recently joined. I grew up in Detroit as a member of Generation Y [[born in the late 80s). I lived near the corner of Dexter and Davison. Back in...
