There is a lot to do downtown, and the city is safe by Wayne and Detroit Mercy. Great food options and they have a lot of versatile events. They recently just had a salsa party where they teach you how to dance! What I like the most is that no matter what the season is, there are a lot of things to do. The public school systems are not always the greatest, I believe that is something that could be worked on. Nightlife is great, there are many bars and restaurants open late. The market is high right now but it is a beautiful area. The commute is about 15 minutes by car with traffic. There's been more diversity over the years and there are a lot of job opportunities that have been only increasing over time.
In Detroit I find my self liking the Coney Island that's on every corner. I love how the city downtown is and how many choices u have when you go there. But even with all these positive things many things in this city needs to be change. For example, the gun violence's because it makes the city unsafe for the kids to be playing outside. Also the road conditions because when I be out driving you would see glass in the street and pot holes as big as Texas! Finally, if you feel like the gun violence and road conditions are not bad, their are many sex offenders in our city and I feel that that is a huge problem in our city!
Detroit is on the rebound. Downtown is livelier. The stadiums are centralized and you can catch a Concert, Football, Hockey, Basketball or Baseball game all in close proximity. There are lots of hidden gems in the neighborhoods such as the Avenue of Fashion and Mexican Town. Love it!
