Ten years ago I WALKED from Greek Town to my hotel (the one with the five round towers) at around 1:00 a.m. on many occasions. It was seedy, to put it mildly, but I didn’t feel threatened, much...
I get a feeling that the Lord may have been protecting me.
Where was your hotel? Greektown is about a block from where DPD was located.
Probably about thirty years ago, a number of people I knew at a convention in Detroit did the same thing, and all reported being asked by blacks if they were okay, with serious concern. In the same trip, I asked directions from a hotel clerk to a mall. I wondered why she directed me through the worst part of town to the shopping center...until I drove around some more and saw that all parts of the city were like that.
I love Detroit. I love love love Greektown.
It has a new face today and is beautiful.
Like most of the rest of Detroit.
This video was shot at Woodward and Nevada, a very ugly part of the city. Every city has parts like this but only Detroit gets the bad press.
Come back and see us sometime. Up north this last month I have met tourists from Texas, Alaska, Montana, Arizona,North Carolina, Canada, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Jamaica.
Michigan is a beautiful, wonderful state.
