THIS IS WHY I LOVE YOU!!!!

As a Detroiter I totally appreciate things like this. The media always has something negative to say about Detroit but in reality, it’s a special place. Do you ever notice how most of the people that rip on the city have never even been there?

Detroit, and its surrounding suburbs, have such amazing quirks. First of all Detroit is nitty and gritty but at the same time, so beautiful. It’s everything a big city should be. Windsor is great too… it’s a playground and just a 5 minute drive from downtown. Dearborn has a great strip of bars and restaurants and a wealth of different cultures. And who couldn’t love Birmingham, Royal Oak or Ferndale? I’ve been to NYC, LA and Chicago and none of those places have the quirky charms of Detroit and its suburbs.

Love you for posting this!

haha I just wrote a love letter to Detroit.

I love that you have Detroit pride. I live in Michigan and live about 30 minutes outside of Detroit. I agree that Detroit has come a long way from what it used to be years ago and I’m proud to say that I live in the Detroit area. I love your site and thanks for all the good press you send to the Detroit area!

I work in Detroit and live in White Lake. I love the city. But I am not a city liver. I love living out in the country but partying in the city. I have not felt unsafe walking to the ball park or Ford field or Hockey town or anywhere for that matter. I always park in the little lot almost accross from the stadium and you pay the guy an extra 5 bucks and he will watch your car for ya. Nice guy! Like any other city or suburb for taht matter…be aware of your surroundings…nowaday anywhere can be unsafe.

I went to grad school at Wayne State U located right in the heart of Detroit’s cultural center. I chose to live on Cass Ave. in the Cass Corridor while I attended, instead of getting a place in the “safe” burbs. And i’m so glad that I chose to live in the city. I’m originally a Chicago girl, now living in New York – and the D is every bit as special to me as anywhere I’ve ever lived. Every single person I went to school with in Detroit, holds a very special love for Detroit. There is something about this city that gets under your skin, and into your heart. It has charm, elegance, grace and grittiness. I think it’s a lot like life that way. It reflects our inner selves. To know Detroit, and spend time in Detroit is to love Detroit. Here’s to the D!!

I am not from Detroit, but i am from Windsor and i love Dertroit just as much as you guys.. Everytime i hear someone bash the Moter City I ask them have they even been there??? Most reply no.. well they are missing out. All my years of living away from Windsor i have made a point of always visiting Detroit while i was home .

Yo Trent,

THANK YOU for posting this amazing piece about our shared hometown. I’m so sick of the endless barrage of gloom and doom around the Big D, and always love to see when people appreciate it for the incredible place that it’s always been.

While outsiders may never understand, Detroit is one of the most awesome cities in the world. You just have to know where to look.

Keep up the great work–the new site looks great!

Onward and upward,
Scott T Sterling/Metromix Los Angeles
