You don’t have to live in Detroit. I live in Hazel Park (affectionately nicknamed “Hazeltucky”). I can see 8 Mile Road from my back window, but I’m surrounded by gun-toting rednecks. Good folks, mostly. You can buy a house here for well under $100,000.00. The farther north you go, the more you’ll pay.
I was a little kid in Hazel Park, born in Highland Park. Have been in Maryland since age of 8, however.
LOL. That's what it is like for us too. Lotsa trucks, flags, and people who open doors for each other.
