Roll up windows, lock doors, unfold car armor, activate invisibility field... still not enough to feel secure. Must blow the place up..

They just need to level 3/4 of that place with a firebomb and start over. Oh wait.. it seems like the ghetto already started. The city should just finish the rest....

And whats with all the boats? Is Detroit like the place to go dump your boat when you want to do some insurance fraud???

We went to the Henry Ford museum a couple years back. When we left we missed the exit and happened to stumble through a couple rough neigborhoods. And what stuck me was the ammount of burned out apartment buildings, and with people in them??? I would be scared as piss to drive through there at night.

The boats (at least the ones w/o a trailer) were dumped so that the trailers could be cut up and scrapped at the metal recycle.....

There are still some decent places within Detroit but what's the fun in showing those.

I'm telling you... I would rather roll thru that then some sections of delray, river rouge, and ecorse. The areas that are that shitty aren't nearly as bad as the sub welfare sections.

And there is some good detroit. Last weekend I took 3 buds with me down to Sweetwater Tavern for the best wings you'll ever have.

Whats wrong with those areas? Just dying areas due to dying industries? Delray looked pretty sketchy, but the other two didnt look too bad in pictures. Although ecorse returned lots of picture of rotted out ships. Looks like ecorse used to be home to boat yards? More freaking boats. lol

In those areas, it's thugs on welfare vs homeless dudes. The welfare thugs are more likely to "prove" themselves by jackin you. Homeless dude just want money for his next bottle of hooch.
