I saw block after block of graffiti fronted/boarded up buildings crumbling down and.block after block of trash and overgrown weeds. It made Gary, Indiana look like Beverly Hills. I am sure those leagues felt sorry for you Detroiters and tossed you a bone.
Tell me you don't know the difference between Downtown Detroit and Detroit is for $500, Alex.
1. Impossible you saw blocks and blocks of graffiti and boarded up buildings when you got out of the Windsor Tunnel. Why? Because it is located in Downtown Detroit right by the Ren Cen, which the World Headquarter for GM.
2. When you get out of the Windsor Tunnel -- you are surrounded by office buildings, all of those office building are enormous. Companies with their headquarters in Detroit. General Motors, Little Ceasar's, Chevrolet, American Axle, Quicken Loans, Compuware. Not to mention Sysco, Deloitte, Fiat, Rocket Mortgage, Unisys and offices for Amazon and Microsoft.
3. You crossed over I-75, most likely on Woodward, which is where you found alot of building boarded up with graffiti. That is no longer downtown Detroit. A lot of those were bought out and tore down since 1997, as the Owner of the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings built a new multipurpose arena for roughly $1 billion to house the Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Pistons. It comes with a new entertainment district.
4. I'm all for tearing apart outskirts of Detroit. In the select few areas, it is like the wild, wild west with all the shootings. That being said -- you'd have to WANT to go to those areas to get there.
