I grew up in Dearborn in the 60’s and 70’s. Very nice. My dad worked for Ford. Dearborn is still considered one of the better places in the area, but the whole area has gone downhill. My brother still lives in Northland. He’s one of the few GM survivors.

My dad retired from FoMoCo too. Dearborn bears little resemblance to Old Orvie Hubbard's kingdom. My brother is stuck in Sterling Heights and can't sell his townhouse; he recently retired and wants to get down here to Melbourne where I'm living.

I worked for Ford from 1991 to 1994 and lived two years in Dearborn, sandwiched around one year out in Belleville. It wasn’t a bad place, and I thought it was a mini-version of what Detroit could have been had it not gone to Hell in the 60’s. I have some good memories of the area and yes, even of Detroit. I’m glad now that I didn’t put down roots and stay there, though, and there are better places in the US to live.
