Detroit / Windsor 2020 olympics + World Fair

[SOVIETTACO]

Best city in the world. You just don't know because you don't live there.

[MasterMark123]

What the hell happened to Detroit ....... A Tragic urban story .. It's now a ghost town all but abandoned for good. Can it survive or has the fat lady sung ?

[demolishmovies]

@MasterMark123

I don't know if you live any where near there. But, I live right outside of it.

Detroit is still a wonderful city. And is safe and it's not a ghost town at all.

[MonsoonWinds6]

MY CITY!!!!

Whoever made this song needs to be murdered with an AXE. this is the straight up scariest song ive ever heard. Its like a waking nightmare.

[reapercussions]

I lived in Detroit from August 2000 to January 2002. I lived right on Washington Ave across from St. Aloysius. I saw the worst and the best of the city , but the best stand out for me. My neighbors were the best I've ever had. I got one of my cats in a pet shop on Cass Ave. I was teaching at Wayne State, and professionally, that was the best time of my life. It wasn't perfect, there was much to be sad about. What has happened to Detroit is what is happening to the whole nation.

[CloverCalliope]

I love Detroit with all my heart.

Maybe it's a little sappy of me, but this video brings tears to my eyes.

It's beautiful.

[HaleyLynnScott]

My city! Getting better every day. xo

[Appealsman1]
