  • You for one miss the good old days when only white people lived everywhere? MY GOD! that is the most racist thing I've ever heard. If you have a problem with your neighbors Christmas lights then i suggest you go and TALK TO THEM! Your ancestors are immigrants and I'm sure they faced discrimination from ignorant, intolerant mental midgets like yourself. I hope for your children's sake that you aren't passing these ideals onto them.

  • Fascinating slice of life in Troy. Great idea. Good selection of interviews!

  • Cool Video...

    Spoiled? I don't think so.

    Great Police interview too.

  • I love troy!!!

  • I wish even the city of Troy, Michigan...whose public schools gave me and jenny tondera the ability to learn life our own way to explore what we needed to explore...i wish that its city council would be wise enough to just put money back into the schools if they're not sure what to do with it

  • @arikwithana Lol ya it is dangerous still, it probably will not be when they build a new stadium there but ya its run down. it was worse b4 the casino because of the projects but it still has that element.

  • how dare they work, be responsible, and have nice things,

    Whats wrong with these people?!!

  • Cass Corridor isn't dangerous. its nothing like it was in the 1970s and 80s. the neighborhood is now very up-and-coming. as for Troy, well, it has begun its steady journey of decline. Sure, it is a "safe" place, with "good schools" and stores. But it is severely lacking in culture, and the video shows this and also how privileged the youth are. The teacher says they are aspiring for a better life then their parents, but we all know that is quickly becoming impossible. Suburbia is dead.

  • i have an audi A4 but i cant drive it till i get As and Bs so for now im stuck with an ugly VW bug

  • In college and my parents live in west Troy, I would not live in the city because it has no personality, all the houses look the same, and its typical suburbia. I would love to live in the historical districts of Detroit like Sherwood Forest, Palmer Woods, Indian Village, or Boston-Edison.

  • 0:19.... coming from a guy who works in the rear of Rams Horn. Everything aside from the cops and shitty roads is pretty much what everyone complains about but really isn't true.

  • Up yours, spitfirecs420. No reason to be a jerk, man.
