I know it's not a freak show, which is why I want to come. There is...

You're right, sorry if I'm being overly enthusiastic. I guess I love what I know about Detroit and what I've seen, and I hope it goes well when I make the trip over there.

Sweet, will do! Thanks for the tip! :)

Wow, WOW. What a beautiful building. It's a shame nobody could think of anything to do with it other than demolishing it. :[[

Augustiner: that made me laugh.
Haha I know it's probably not as bad as people make it seem, but some people made it seem like you are very likely to get shot. Like, it's pretty much just chance. ...
