I'll pipe in, as more than a dozen pictures of mine were used without permission for this video. Let go of the riot as the cause of Detroit's problems, it's a lot of hype. The problems started before that with the building of I-75 destroying Paradise Valley in 1957 (that's the year Detroit's population started declining). There were riots in the 40's without the same population decrease. Detroit is the most resilient city in this country, we'll be back.
I always had this vision that Detroit was like Newark, New Jersey and this was before I went there in 1996. Then I had a residency at Motor Lounge and did 50 shows between 1996-2001. There really is nothing to compare Detroit with but Newark, Trenton & Camden do look quite similar. It is truly the raw essence of a city that once was and now is a shell of its former self.

blame bush & chaney for wasting billions on that Iraq war, which could have build a new Detroit with jobs and opportunity for who ever wanting.
