Despite my negative comments, I feel like perhaps there has been a small change and there is a renewed interest in urban living here. Now the challenge is how to get the 10-40,000 [[in my estimation) ...

Obviously, we all know the story. Redlining, freeway expansion, racial tensions, taxes, blah blah blah... There's a national story on it every day.
I think very seriously that there just haven't...

Was there last week. Its super busy, like i cant effing believe how busy it is. No local berries at what is the height of berry season, berries come from Cali. Prices are high, tho better deals on...

Anyone else think that 500 mil of the 1.25 B is a giant allocation for demolition?

In a town where people act like rock stars before they play a note, this was a refreshing and humble homecoming. No set list, some cool covers, great stage banter and a lovely venue. My only fault...

I've eaten more burgers since I moved to Detroit at Xmas than I did in the previous 3 years and nearly every one has been delectable.

More Burgers? Everyone in town already serves a good burger.

I'm fairly new here, but I am astounded with the amount of litter here. I live near an expressway exit/egress and watch people throwing entire bags of white castle, beer bottles and the like OUT...

Obviously, anything going on here is a feel-good story. A few shops will be nice if not particularly useful to the majority of citizens. The thing that gets my back up is that Gilbert insists on...

Small wonder that people get shit service if folks in this town don't tip cabbies. I find that surprising as people here are quite generous with bar/waitstaff.

Detroit is the most blatantly racist city i've ever lived in. Will someone remove this post?

and further...the reason I started this was due to the utter shit service given me by dispatchers in the city.

I collect mobile numbers of cabbies that give me good service, program them into my phone and have a fleet of 3 or so that can take me when I need one. Then it's a 2 way street. I tip a little more...

So i went to check out these new contest winning retail destinations last Wednesday at 3:30 or so in the afternoon. Not a single one was open. What gives?

Funny. A group of us has been talking about this very thing. Obviously, Gilbert has invested in the city and has led the charge re-inventing downtown and bringing life to the area. On the other...

Maybe LeDuff should move into town and put his money where his mouth is..

Michigan has no-fault insurance. Most expensive in the nation as far as I can deduce.

Just got car insurance here and was pretty flabbergasted. First quote for one car was 2800 for SIX MONTHS. Got it down eventually to 1100 every six. Ins companies also informed me that 25 years of...

That being said, Bing is talking the fool downplaying violence in the city-at-large. It is elitist, irresponsible and classist in the worst way possible. He's always on about safety for...

Whoa!

Hiring private security to patrol at ten dollars an hour doesn't fill me with warm thoughts. It seems that the detroit news map has 2 recorded homicides in Corktown since May 12th, 2012....

Also, to Marienbad, the original poster: Fanny Mae and HUD often have great deals here in the city and outlying regions. The catch is again, one is a deal, one is bullshit; AND they will be the...

I talked to our neighbours while visiting the area and they don't seem in a hurry to leave. Most of the homes are well taken care of and while SW has deteriorated to some degree, it has deteriorated...

Seriously. And thanks!

It's kind of in between those two locales. We're putting the money in to have a nice place to live! What a concept, eh? Perhaps rent out the extra apt to someone responsible and in need of good...

A pistol in yer pocket is worthless if someone has already shot you. It's not as though the perp was going to offer a duel.
