8 Mile actually turns into a dirt road east of me. It runs all the way out to the country just north of Ann Arbor. Most of it's in a nice area. The Detroit areas are rough in spots, but it's not what I'd call a war zone. I used 8 mile to get from 75 to Van Dyke when I had to go from Downtown to Macomb. I wanted to avoid 6 mile and Van Dyke. THAT's a bad area.
The Tigers clinched the AL central title last night.
