So because of the super bowl, detroit looks it's nicest since the 60's. It's amazing to see it actually look...nice. It was packed down there! If you haven't been to Detroit before the superbowl...it was trashed. There were more abandoned buildings than occupied ones (literally) and those that were occupied were burnt/broken/trashed.

The point is, it will be trashed in a week, but it was good to see it actually have some life to it.

Yeah! You gotta love detroit. Since the end of the game all the news people have been doing is going around and asking everyone what they thought of detroit and they're trying to get all the good publicity out of it as they can. This will probably be the last time its the least bit decent.

my dad works with this guy whos brother is a detroit cop, and the guy told my dad that there's been like 20 detroit shootings this week, and the reason we havent heard about them is because they dont want to scare the people coming here for the superbowl... i havent been to detroit in awhile.
