A few years ago Me and a few friends decided to go to the Detroit auto show. We somehow got turned around and lost over by Comerica park and ended up on the other side of the freeway. Not a good area for a carload of white people. The landscape consisted of burned out houses and empty lots. the only thing that was ok were the liquor stores. Everything else was trashed. I looked at our driver and said “turn around now” and he said “what in the middle of the street?” to which I said “hell, yes! we’re on the wrong side of safe”. The driver was worried he’d get pulled over for an illegal U turn. I told him “don’t worry, the cops don’t come down to this part of town”. His only response was “oh”.

It reminds me of a story told by L. Brooks Patterson, head of Oakland County, the prosperous county north of Detroit.

He said he had to drive into Detroit one day for a meeting, and had to park pretty far from where the meeting was. He asked a cop who happened to be where he parked, how long it would take to walk to where the meeting was, and the cop said, "I don't know, no one's ever made it."
