Travel back in time and experience Detroit traditions that live on in rare film, old photographs and fond memories in this extraordinary documentary Detroit Remember When I: Motor City Memories and Hometown Traditions. From Briggs Stadium to Boblo, Black Bottom to the Boulevard, this made-in-Detroit documentary captures the spirit of the city in reminiscences of what used to be and remembrances of what once was. Summer days at Belle Isle, the Vernors soda fountain, Jefferson Beach and Edgewater Park are among the sites revisited in footage and from Detroit-area family collections and media archives.

I'm from Detroit and I currently live in Texas. I've also lived in NYC and Oakland, CA.
I love where I'm from, but it is appalling how racist The Metro Detroit area is. Never lived anywhere else that had such a chip on it's shoulder. I really think that has been the main impediment to Detroit's success.
I still hope for the best.

Not pointing this finger on just one race
Which is a easy outing from situation we face
Some say it was us blacks and we're such a disgrace
While other believe those crackhead whites
Were the the ones to kill the life
In the city with a heart more alive than New York at night

It's remarks and attitudes like this that helped bury the city of my birth. And when people find out I was born there, they are shocked that I came out enlighted, articulate, and intelligent. I too am heartbroken about the entire attitude and atmosphere there. But it's not going to get better until you, the people get your act together and start to live in civility towards each other.

@helpAmerica1 Massive amounts of Black crime and a verrry anti-white black mayor that was elected in 1974, Coleman Young, ruined Detroit, that's what happened. in 1967 the blacks burned down 2500 buildings in Detroit and the white people said "enjoy the ghetto that you made out of our once great city" and moved to the burbs in mass.
