I live in Detroit and I love my city. Don’t listen to the anti-hype. Detroit has tons to offer. Great ethnic restaurants and small businesses, music festivals, an extensive local music scene, and people big and small who are determined to turn the city around. Those who berate it are just missing out. Don’t let predjudice hold you back. Don’t let fear hold you back. They are what has been holding the city and state back for decades. Out of the grit, crime and cold of Detroit has emerged some of the worlds most influential music (techno, punk, motown, hip hop, etc…), not to mention technological marvels (i.e. the assembly line).

Detroit has been kickin’ for 300+ years, don’t count us out just yet.
