NerveDamage 4,176 Report post Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Really glad my B&B out of Downtown, had the opportunity to get a glimpse of what the city is like. One of my favourite memories was riding the last bus back from a game and to see all the unspoken habits or manners, like women elderly and children would get on first, then the men, and like 3 or 4 huuuge guys waited until the last person of the "community" got on the bus, checked all was good and then got on themselves, then one white guy and myself got on. It gave me a sense of respect. and well I guess buses are the new barbershops. And that's something I wouldn't have experience had I stayed at a casino or fancy waterfront loft I'm not gonna argue with you on this. You're from up there. but it's quite a different reality you live. and by the way you're looking south, Detroit is North from there.

You're from up there. but it's quite a different reality you live. and by the way you're looking south, Detroit is North from there. You fail to see the point of my post. You pointed out an extreme and I pointed out the opposite (on purpose). For some reason people like to label Detroit and say "oh that's true Detroit" after seeing like a block of a bad neighborhood. When I google Detroit I find this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_Detroit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit. And the picture I gave you speaks otherwise. One of the most annoying and ignorant things is when people label Detroit as this broken down place that's a s***hole blah blah blah, when in reality parts of the city are actually better most of the non-downtown neighborhoods. The suburbs of the metro Detroit area and better than most suburbs in New York. It's like people try to make this sad sentimental narrative that probably exists in any city out there. The good nature you're describing of people isn't unique to Detroit. That's the same anywhere and anything not named Manhattan or Chicago. I go to Iowa and I'd find the same type of huge guys and white guy and old lady and bus and kids etc. Same goes for any bad natured people you might see. Shooters, killers, thieves. Btw don't be so quick to judge about the reality I live. I merely gave a picture, you put a story to it. Also plenty of fine folks living in lofts or whatever it is you said that can experience exactly what you did and more. It's all about initiative. Type of place someone lives in doesn't make a person better or worse or superior or inferior in their experiences. To assume that is just ignorance.
