You know your city is a shithole when this is actually a viable option downtown.

If this happens I will 100% do it and film it with my GoPro. The only downside I foresee is people taking it way too seriously and shooting up the "zombies."

Yeah, but it's more like "haunted zombie ghetto with guns and black people." Infinitely more scary.

They should just scrap the zombie idea and let you walk around inner city Detroit at night.

I took a wrong turn trying to take a shortcut home from a Red Wings game one night. NEVER AGAIN. I don't know where the fuck I ended up, but people were staring at me at every red light and I legitimately thought I was going to get car jacked. Walking around as a white kid in the wrong part of Detroit at night is a fucking death sentence. Fuck that.

One of my friends did the same thing. As she was driving a cop came and pulled her over and told her not to ever completely stop at a stop sign around there again or she might get shot.

I've actually been honked at for stopping at a red light in Detroit haha. People there don't fuck around. If there is no traffic coming the other way, a red light is basically just a stop sign.

Holy fuck Detroit sounds gnarly, I've heard from people that it's legit like a 3rd world country in some parts.

Ok, I know I just made a bunch of posts about how bad it is, but really, Detroit is pretty fucking awesome as long as you stay in the right areas. Down by the stadiums and the surrounding areas on Woodward, and certain areas on Jefferson by the river are really nice, as well as certain "historic" districts like East Village and Indian Village.

Really just depends where you go.

This is how it is for most major cities. In Minneapolis/St. Paul you will see houses like you posted, then you cross one street and it's like you're in a whole other country.

Very much so, except the ratio of good neighborhoods and insanely shitty neighborhoods is disproportionally tilted towards the bad neighborhoods in Detroit.
