Detroit and Cleveland are really underrated cities. I'm from Chicago and there is a lot of interesting historical attractions and decent culture to experience in both Detroit and Cleveland.
Well done FWJ you didn't miss your chance with the edits on this song. My 65 year old uncle is a HUGE Eminem fan and I know his music through him, this is one of his best songs, the others are too risqué to mention and remain a lady, lol. Well done and of course a Copperplate shout out - if you can talk about fonts, you can talk to everyone, lol, let's not forget the great Gil Sans for the end notes and Brush Script for the finale... ;.)
@0marigolds Thank you much and good eye on the fonts :) I will admit to being somewhat inspired by the Chrysler 200 comercial for this one. Glad you liked it.
@lyricsfromsweden I like Bobby Caldwell and that's a good song but I don't see it working well with a video, too mellow. And if I did do something that required a song that mellow I would probably go with an instrumental but thanks for the suggestion.
Beautiful! I hope that GDOT and the local Metro ATL gov'ts watch this video for an excellent example of traffic signal timing! It's not a hard concept! I don't understand why ATL is so far behind in this matter. It's bad enough the arterials suck without taking the signals into account, but then you have to sit through EVERY damn light down here. Every time I go to Detroit, I am reminded of this.
If Windsor may have a hetic night life, what I remember from 90ties is that the "greektown" area of Detroit was also known for such nightlife, (and unfortunately, only part of Detroit having by the way a night life). Will you make a ride in this town section?
yes there is a light rail planned,,great vid jim from the university district,fox town to C M park area,the route you see in those Chrysler Commericals,this route of m-1 is also used as the Woodward Dream Cruise in Oakland County from Pontiac to 8 Mile
@broadhurst04 I didn't think Detroit was that run-down, at least from what I saw. I did not go to Canada, no reason to really as I don't think there's anything to see/film in Windsor.
@Freewayjim: Windsor has a pretty nice downtown...the nightlife there can be fairly hectic, too! You can also get some bad ass views of downtown Detroit with the camcorder...just ideas for your next trip to Motown.
@Freewayjim im suprised they dont do that with Eminem, what gets me going with the big bad music companies, are when you use it in the way you are doing it, and many others, your most the time getting there music shared with people who normally wouldnt know or listen to it, so technically you are promoting them for free and they want to sue, or take down your videos and all that whoblah
8 Mile Road Yeeeeh

Is Detroit as run-down as everyone makes it out to be? I take it you did not go through the tunnel and enter Canada. Maybe on another trip?
