thank you! Denying that most suburbanites loathe Detroit is ridiculous! I've heard the hate time and time again myself. "Don't go to Detroit, you'll get shot" "oh I stay far away from the city too many thugs" etc I'm not making this up. This attitude is the main reason I myself have grown to dislike the Metro area. Going to a Tigers game and bar downtown or restaurant in midtown doesn't change this either. Now lets ask how many suburbanites how many of them have gone to new shops, restaurants etc that aren't in the comfort zone of the greater downtown area? or is it filled with thugs. I'm not saying every single suburbanite feels that way but most do and its no secret
