What Detroit needs is more diversity like Seattle.

The only people left in Detroit are the poor and the human garbage that prey on them. In other words, Chuckie's hip-hop, urban utopia.

Good Morning Charles,
Wow, that's bloody sad. What a waste. Cool video though.

Anyone else watch America's favorite black comedy, The First 48?

The Detroit episodes are a laugh-along!

So I guess the word "Detroit" is instant racist-bait? Good to know.

Keep hating people for their skin tone guys, I am sure you will end up on the right side of history for that choice.

Skin tone? Plenty of wiggaz at 8th and Gratiot. Nope, the problem is cultural.

i still wish we'd expanded the monorail. ballard to west seattle would have been the shit.

@7 don't worry, we're going to do it by subway. the underground light rail from u district to northgate, though, being $4.3 billion and oh about 4.5 miles...well, expect a 14 mile greenline subway west seattle to ballard to be about oh, $12 billion.

that monorail we voted down? $2.2 billion.

I love riding the People Mover when I visit family in Detroit.

The article's right - it's clean, it's quiet, it (mostly) runs, and if you're downtown, it'll take you to Greektown, or Comerica Park, or Joe Lewis, or Cobo. But you can't, as they say, get there from here. You've got to drive if you want to ride on it. Which, if you think about it, is just the dumbest thing in the world.

It really is useful, and an interesting sight-seeing trip past the library and the churches. If they're still there...

I love the People Mover. Great way to get around Detroit.

And I disagree with @11--I've been there plenty of times on transit. It connects up nicely with the Rosa Parks Transit Center, which gets you local and regional buses all over the Detroit area, as well as with the Transit Windsor tunnel bus to Canada.

Such an awesome city. I love visiting it several times per year.

(And they are finally, finally moving ahead with a commuter rail to Ann Arbor and a light rail up Woodward Avenue...)

(Also: same technology as Vancouver's SkyTrain and Toronto's Scarborough Rapid Transit lines. That familiar electric hum of the motors spinning up always feels like home to me, having lived in all three cities now.)

There's no such place as 8th and Gratiot in Detroit.
16
Well, Gratiot and Wiggaz street then. It was 2am and all I wanted was my warm bed in Grosse Pointe.

@16 You don't know shit about Detroit.

Please wait...
