For SW Detroit, I love the diversity and activist/community spirit. There are so many groups trying to improve things on their own rather than waiting on the city. Also, taco trucks are a huge plus and it is very cool to see the kids playing soccer in the street during the summertime. Additionally, MI Ave. and W. Vernor are both long stretches where the business community is still relatively strong.

For midtown, Wayne State University has to be one of the best things about Detroit. I can't imagine what that area would be like if it wasn't there! I haven't been yet, but I hear the river walk downtown is quite nice.
