Tulsa's too far away, I'd like to stay close-ish to the border. The southern US doesn't really attract me in terms of the culture, either. Don't fancy bible belt livin'. I also grew up on the west coast, just north of the border with Washington state and it's not my scene. In that I don't make ro smoke meth, nor do I have any interest in yoga or chakra alignment. OK, I'm being slightly facetious, but I'm not a west coast type in terms of personality.but I'm still not getting why Detroit, as opposed to, say Tulsa, or Tacoma.
Why? You heart the D. You don't want overeducated dicks like me in town? You think it's a hellhole unsuitable for all but the most emotionally attached? What? I have noticed a certain unwelcoming vibe at times, expressed by a few people. Why is this? Is it class? Race? Something else? Please clarify.Go to Pittsburgh.
Hmmm. So, lots of Detroit ppl are advising me to pick Pittsburgh. Is Detroit THAT crime ridden? I mean, everywhere, every single neighbourhood? Would I be unsafe walking alone at night in EVERY nabe in the city?
For what it's worth I spent 3 years in south London [[UK not Ontario) in the late 90's/early 00's in Clapham/Brixton [[NOT the gentrified part) so I'm not completely unfamiliar with 'rough' areas. I know not to go wandering through rough areas at midnight dripping gold.
Thank you to all who have replied so far, even the bickerpantses. Thank you p69rrh51 for the photos [[more links to more photos welcome and encouraged). How charmed am I that there's a neighbourhood called the Cabbage Patch? Very.
