Thanks for the great tour of Detroit. I was born there and remember quite a bit from childhood years and young adult but left after the riots. It has changed so much and I enjoyed going down the streets I remember, and seeing all the new buildings downtown. You're a very good driver and definitely know your way around the city. It's not the same without Hudson's, Woolworth's and Kresge's though. Anyway, thanks again and I'll be back when I get homesick again.
You can always tell the people who’ve never actually been to Detroit judging by the comments lol. Detroit has MANY nice neighborhoods outside of Downtown: Indian Village, Sherwood Forest, Grandmont-Rosedale, Rosedale Park, Virginia Park, Boston-Edison, Palmer Woods, English Village, Crary-St. Mary just to name a few.
Detroit's Downtown Area looks a lot better now than it was a decade ago. Can't say the same for the rest of the city tho. Detroit still has a ton of work to do before Detroit can full complete their comeback. Great drive tho Mike!
@@Bedroomeyze Most areas outside of Downtown Detroit are pretty abysmal due to the high crime and poverty rates. I don't need to go to Detroit to know that Detroit outside of Downtown is very abysmal. And I have no desire to go to Detroit in the near future unless I have to for some reason. Some of the WORST neighborhoods in Detroit proper are: Belmont, The Eye, Poletown East, Fitzgerald and Franklin Park are some of the WORST neighborhoods in the city based on their high crime rates, high poverty rates, etc. Detroit has the potential to complete their comeback story and be back to their former glory, but in order to do that, they need to revamp and fix up all of the very abysmal neighborhoods in Detroit proper that are still struggling in terms of crime, poverty and home value. Hopefully Detroit does come back and goes back to their former glory that they were back in the 50s and beyond, but because of the high crime rates, and the high poverty rates the many of the neighborhoods like the ones I just listed, Detroit will need to work harder to truly come all the way back.
@@ryanvandy1615That is true. But, outside of those nicer neighborhoods and Downtown, they need to be gentrified and fixed up badly. The question is, how much will it cost to fix up those abysmal neighborhoods and will anybody move into those newly-gentrified neighborhoods after they're fixed up? I guess we'll find out somewhere down the line.
I agree with a lot of you as far as Detroit coming a long way! I have been to a few Tiger games when it was held at the old Tiger Stadium. I have been to a couple of Red Wing games at the old Joe Louis Arena. Those are the times when immediately after the games it was time to quickly get out of town. But now, it seems it is coming along and looking pretty good!
The motor City has been through a massive population decline over the past years due to high crime High poverty and tons of boarded-up houses and everything at least they've turning it around a little bit although they have been a victim of the rust belt but nothing bad to say about their downtown area
I have always loved Detroit. I left because I grew tired of the cold weather. I have lived in Scottsdale , AZ for 30 years. I get back Detroit, whenever I can . It beats the banal , cultureless White suburbs.
looks like a typical downtown to me, I have never been to this state, I only know what they say on the news and we know some are more bias than others.
Can’t wait to see where all you visit in the Detroit area 🤓🤓 just guessing what’s next.. Toledo, Cleveland, Akron, Pittsburgh, then you’re probably headed back home for a bit. Or you’re just going to catch a flight to Los Angeles, Seattle, SANFRAN or something haha Love your channel! #safetravels
There are other vibrant areas outside of Downtown Detroit no matter what the naysayers, who i bet never really stepped into the city, always babbling about in the comment section. Here is just a smidgen: Rosedale Park, Indian Village, Bagley, Palmer Woods, Sherwood Forrest, University District, Boston Edison, West District etc. So please just shut it.
Downtown improved a lot over the past 10 years. Still more work to be done but it’s good
Isn’t that for all cities?

Mister Mike your video is one of the best I have ever enjoyed.I love your city.

Can't say the same? You can't name one neighborhood and never visited...but what you heard....am I right?

There are many good neighborhoods throughout the city, with many on the upswing due to gentrification.

Stunningly beautiful work. Thank you!
that started off in the rivertown neighborhood east of downtowqn.
Detroit can one day rule the skyline I believe. So much potential

Actually your assessment is wrong and let me guess, not from Detroit and never really visited have you?
@@Bedroomeyze no but I can see why not as many people want to visit Detroit

Ford Field!
Do Woodward full drive video
They've come a long way, Downtown used to be pretty grim back in the '90s
One thing that Detroit lacks is the amount of people in the city.
Literally, there's dozens of blocks of nothing sometimes
Detroit is a beautiful city but it could be bigger the buildings are so close to each other. I think I'll expand out more.
Whats that new sky scraper being built?
Hudson Block, it will be the second tallest building in the city when it's completed
Little Caesars Arena!
Can’t wait to see where all you visit in the Detroit area 🤓🤓

Mike is in Canada rn. He'll get to those cities after he returns into the US from Canada.
Definitely will hit all of those in time. I'll be driving to LA and Seattle though. No flying for now lol.
@@MileageMikeTravels doesn’t your family/friends miss you?? 😎
52:17 I hate it when that happens to me
What dash camera do you use?
The drive i was hoping you.d do..maybe flint michigan next.used to build cars there i belive.
Flint, MI = The Vehicle City
So, yes Flint used to build cars. But, Flint is more depressing than Detroit.
Detroits sister motor city..
My only question is how in the hell does the residents deal with the harsh winters????
Ummm Chicago New York Philadelphia. same thing
They wear Carhartt sweaters. That usually does the trick even if there's a lot of snow.
Does anyone see Ford Field anywhere in this video?
@@Fire_Troop you must be kidding me!
@@Fire_Troop Ford Field, where the Lions play?
@@Fire_Troop I knew it!
I think we saw Ford Field in the background somewhere in the first 10 minutes of the video when we drove by Comerica Park.
7:55 mark
There are some sounds that you might have to edit out of the video.
Do 8 mile rd full drive
Feels depressing for some reason
How come?
