You know you're from Michigan when you can go to Detroit without getting mugged.

Michigan is the best state ever, period

LOL. According to this video, a lot of places are said to be "the biggest / largest / best / etc.. in the WORLD!" Most pretty lame too, such as the Grand Hotel having the longest porch in the world. Hahahah. Seriously? There are no palaces in other parts of the world that have the longest? I find it hard to believe that anything in Michigan has the best of anything in the world. lol

It wasn't the rich suburbs leeching off of Detroit, it's the ne'er-do-wells living off of welfare and food stamps that are still bleeding the city dry.

Oh how things change. Thank you Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama. Thanks for doing your part in ensuring the destruction of the free world. Thanks.

Detroit was murdered, if you ask me, with all those rich suburbs leeching it to death, plus the federally-caused export of US manufacturing jobs over the last few decades.

Detroit has had a positive impact on so many things, and I think people tend to forget the music this city has contributed to (blues, jazz, rock, pop, techno, etc.)

I visit Detroit from time to time, and while it's not what it once was, if you treat it as a small city, you can find worthwhile things to do.

The scene at 2:40, is that at Ogemaw?  Does that particular game refuge still exist?
