Stay Outa Detroit

I live 2 hours north of detroit and I am in a totally different neck of the woods but this article doesnt really suprise me. I love MI and everything it has to offer but when you look at the fact that Saginaw, Flint and Detroit are some pretty bad areas and unfortanantly economy is not helping any. I do believe that MI also has the highest unemployment rate and when add the 2 together you get some pretty bad situations. I am lucky, I just bought my boat, I have a stable job and I can still afford to have some fun but there's a lot of people who can't.
 
Check out this short trailer of the documentary just released detailing what the Detroit
fire dept. is up against....wow!

Which one.... And Bill wasn't much help ether
 
I grew up in Saginaw and now when I go back I almost don't recognize it. The east side looks like a war zone. I worked in a drugstoreat 14th & Janes when I was in college--I wouldn't drive through there in the day time. Downtown is a deserted wasteland. Stores boarded up, no traffic, no pedestrian traffic.

tgreene lives in Bay City and he's right...that's a whole different story. GW and I were in Bay City last spring and took the highway from the east side of Bay City to Saginaw. When we got into Saginaw and I realized what that area had become, I didn't stop at the stop lights. I'd approach them, check for traffic, and drive through. I'm a realist and didn't want to be "just another statistic" in the Saginaw News.
 
I had a business trip to Motown cancelled and can't say I'm that sorry. I'll take Bismarck ND in the winter over Detroit for a project.
