Half of my fam from Detroit.... Lmao OP ain't show u nikkas the REAL D :mjlol:


GO out there thinking it's a tourist spot if u want to :laff:

why do we like to glorify negative shyt? I’m pretty sure all of Detroit isn’t bad.

Can anyone from Detroit besides this bozo tell us what are some decent parts of the city? Thinking bout moving there to teach. I know homes are still cheap there & and as black as Atlanta is, Detroit is even blacker. I’d be right at home besides the weather.

So you would be here around July, I would say check out the RiverWalk downtown, the cultural centers in Midtown - Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, DIA, and Detroit Historical Museum.

From there I would scope out the Livernois Avenue of fashion - shop and get something to eat off of the AVE, my favorite is Yoshi’s Hibachi Grill.

Are the abandoned/empty houses and neighborhoods a city wide thing, or just in black areas?

And is there an area of the city with empty homes that are relatively safe?

I’m doing some investing out there and went for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised.

One of the best downtowns in the nation, the stable neighborhoods have excellent housing stock fukking large beautiful homes, food was hitting, people friendly.

Looking forward to returning.

I don't think you went to every part of Detroit. When you go outside of Downtown, it's really hit and miss. Emphasis on the miss

I was in Northwest Detroit mostly I think and Downtown and on the outskirts by the airport for one of my hotels. The neighborhoods I saw were Bagley, Fitzgerald, University District, Boston Edison, Grandmont/Rosedale, Oakman, Palmer Woods, Sherwood Forest, Petoskey-Otsego, Dexter Linwood. So overall more affluent/historic, stable, and mixed neighborhoods and some hood.

I know large portions of the city are wrecked and I saw a little bit of it just riding around but I have no reason to be deep East side or West side. :manny:

Born and raised. Been here all my life and ready to go :camby:

My views of the city are skewed vs a visitor, naturally. All my family have moved out of state and when I ask if they’ll ever move back it’s a big NO. Sick of winters and being stuck in the house most of the year. Not much to do out here either. Food is alright. I do love the fact it’s tons of black folks so you don’t feel out of place, but doesn’t mean much if people aren’t doing too well :manny:


Looking to move out west with the rest of my family either this year or next.

Will still be repping the D wherever I go though. Pistons and Lions on deck. Buffs on :russ:

I grew up in Northwest Detroit in University District. Northwest Detroit are all nice middle class neighborhoods for the most part

One thing that may or may not be an adjustment, it is super unique to be that big of a city and that BLACK. Might be an adjustment not seeing this many black people in 99% of the rest of America. Even other cities that people call "chocolate cities" like New Orleans, DC, Atlanta, etc, are not even close to as black as Detroit is. Do you think it would fukk with yiu not seeing as many black people around?

I think it’d take me a minute to become adjusted for sure. Definitely will have me feeling like I’m on another planet lmao. Growing up I was predominantly around black folks or in mixed groups. Only time I’m mostly around white folks is if I go to their areas.

I know you’re a Cali breh. I’m looking to go to SoCal. I know there’s black folks out there but not like Detroit :russ:

Just gonna stay in my lane and enjoy the weather :salute:
