@Mori Motoharu well just a personal preference (tired of southern culture, grew up here, visited other places and have a desire to leave). For me, there are better places to live in terms of a better lifestyle, what I enjoy, atmosphere, culture. Texas is not a poor choice, but there is not much to do outside of eating, shopping, and sporting events. especially compared to other states. It lacks a lot. there are other states one can live and be in another vibrant city or state in a matter of hours. So geographically, Texas is not desirable. Another reason I am living are because of the people here- not very friendly/road rage/has become quite dangerous /impatient/animated. where in Germany do you live? where did you live prior? why texas? I can give you some great suggestions on areas in texas or answer questions if you need to know, just ask!
Between 1999 and 2009, I spent 9/10 of those Januaries in a hotel there (usually the Best Western) working as a specialty tech for an exhibit at NAIAS. I'm a little saddened to see that 4 of the 5 restaurants I really liked in those days (Cobo Joe's, Pizza Papalis, and the Greek restaurants that used to be where Redsmoke and that corner parking lot are now) are permanently gone if not completely erased. Good to see Woodward Coney Island still there! I ate at Golden Fleece too, they were okay, the others were just better. Maybe that's changed, maybe they absorbed displaced workers from the vanished establishments?
I honestly just found out about Pizza Papalis and was pretty bummed out about it. I don't know what happened because every time I went by that place it was always jammed packed!
The inside is amazing too. The elevated walkways (circulation rings) going all the way around the open interior core, shops and a movie theater scattered around inside...at least back in 2009 when I was last there...
Вот,что Я Вам Скажу ,Ребята!!!Что то я Разрухи Не Наблюдаю!!! Детройт Жив и Он -Дышит!!!Я Не Перестаю Удивляться Величию и Мощи Америки!!!Разве Её Можно Не Хотеть???🇺🇲👌🔥🙋✊👍💰😂
Idk what time or day this was taken but I’m in Detroit all the time and there are lots of people. Lions Tigers Music Food and Wayne State it’s all there and lots of people
Seems like traffic jams and finding parking space are not Detroit's worst problems. The pollution level caused by cars may be down, but the way some buildings are demolished might have compensated that with asbestos, paint particles etc. City seems to be going back in the good direction though, heard about Ford having bought the iconic railway station and making plans for EV's... Let me guess: after petroleum wars, we'll have a lot of conflicts over lithium etc. in the next decades. So, the future for arms dealers still looks rosy....
What is the bldg. on the left at 27:40 with all the Glass. I left Michigan 11 years ago. And I miss Detroit + Michigan tremendously ! How's the new Gordie Howe bridge doing. It looks like it's gonna be Fantastic !!!
That I believe is part of the main terminal for the city busses. As for the bridge… It will be a beautiful bridge! Way better than the Ambassador Bridge lol
I used to be one of the office workers walking around there, but now I work from home (42 miles away). I love the city, but not enough to drive 84 miles a day when I can work from home. There's no going back for me.
Awesome video! I'm glad you stayed downtown and didn't go to the areas where all the abandoned / burned down houses are. It's nice to see this side of Detroit. Quick question, what camera do you use and where was it mounted on your car?
This was filmed during coronavirus, most of downtown Detroit is tourism or office based, other neighborhoods he drove through don’t have good public transit or are student based with students still off campus and not in person classes, not too shocking there’s so few. Also depending on the time of day even if office workers were in town they would be at work… less likely to be walking about. Most of those 1 million never lived near downtown, and that population was maintained in the suburbs to this day, the metro area has never lost its population
They didn’t leave Detroit they just went to the burbs. Not many people are fleeing Michigan anymore people are starting to move in or move back. There’s a lot of investment geared towards Michigan/Great Lakes region which means they are preparing for a huge influx of people moving in.

Many many thanks for this ride!!!
My pleasure!
Nice simple drive around, no stupid commentary, or distracting music. Well done.
Thank you! It's been a while but I got more to come!
Я много читала, каким процветающим был Детройт. И я верю, что он может обрести свою былую мощь. Хотя, он красив и сейчас. Очень красив.
Beautiful city. Thank you for sharing the great driving tour.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it!
Beautiful city. I feel sad that many of old houses and industrial buildings are abandoned and collapsed :(
the great thing is, Detroit is experiencing a renaissance, the city is gentrifying at a rapid pace.

Such a beautiful city actually. I'd like to live there If I had a viSa.
Greetings from Germany
Funny you say that. I'm considering moving to Detroit but also would love to live in Germany if possible. I'm a Texan.
Give it a try! It'll be much easier for you than it will be for me🙂

Какая красота! Пустые улицы!
Agreed!
Красивый и современный город! Красивее Москвы и всех российских городов
It is a very nice city! Glad you liked it.

The former Best Western is now Hotel Indigo, according to Google Maps.

Those renaissance towers are amazing
I agree! Totally different than other buildings.
The inside is amazing too. The elevated walkways (circulation rings) going all the way around the open interior core, shops and a movie theater scattered around inside...at least back in 2009 when I was last there...
In ‘79 I ate at a restaurant at the very top that slowly rotated so you could see the whole city at night, was amazing. Not sure if it’s still there?
Огромное спасибо за путешествие! Какая же разная Америка! ( впрочем, как и Россия).
Thanks for watching!

Detroit seems like a beautiful city. But where are all the people. Seems a very lonely city to me
Idk what time or day this was taken but I’m in Detroit all the time and there are lots of people. Lions Tigers Music Food and Wayne State it’s all there and lots of people
@@PattyJoT where are they so
Ryte
@@clivehope8409 Dude, this is 8 o’clock in the morning on a Saturday. Plenty of cities look like that on that day n time🤡
It's like that when it a game
Uma Detroit fantasma? Na parte mais agitada, contei cinco pedestres...
It looks a lot like Brooklyn.

busiest day in Detroit
Haha!

It's called the Rosa Parks Transit Center.
beautifull city. It seems to be empty any time, no people, no cars.. Anyway, wish it can recover its wellness.
I agree!

Detroit era la "ciudad del automóvil", qué ironía....
Where is everybody? Nobody is on the streets..
Haha I agree! Made it nice to drive though. It was about 830 am on a Saturday morning. So I don’t know if that had something to do with it.
Was like that way before covid.
@@dorkanderson4963 Do you mean that most of those buildings are empty?
@@dorkanderson4963 Not on a Saturday morning...a lot of events are downtown now ...but covid had a lot to do with it
@@mango-5424 LOL No but you do have a lot of people working from home now so...
Looks like an amazing city to grow up in so full of vibrancy and clean looking streets put my city to shame 👍🤪🇬🇧🇺🇲
What city!?
@@drivingdan the one in the video you showed I think it's Detroit or somewhere in Michigan state 👍👍👍
@@jonathanmanning5358 Detroit is the poorest city in the United States. Don’t be shameful of your city😂.
@@johnfrench6564 what a shame, could bomb foreign countries but your city still poor
Realmente uma cidade linda, mas não tem ninguém nas ruas, será que o vídeo foi gravado no fim de semana?
I agree and yea it was shot over the weekend in the early morning!!
The city was abandoned
Best Downtown in America!
Haha that’s what I’m talking about!
Is that the Penobscot bldg. at 23:13 in the background ?
Yes it is!
Onde estao as pessoas dessa cidade??
Amei o video❤❤❤❤
Hello 🇧🇷
era de manhã cedo :)
My Hometown Michigan I'm From Michigan I Still Live In Michigan I Like Michigan
Michigan is the best! Fresh water lakes everywhere. 4 seasons. Downtown is great and more!
@@drivingdan Yes I Agree With You 💯 Michigan Do Got The Best Water
@@aprilfarrington8436 💯
Awesome video! I'm glad you stayed downtown and didn't go to the areas where all the abandoned / burned down houses are. It's nice to see this side of Detroit. Quick question, what camera do you use and where was it mounted on your car?
I wanted him to go there :/
Scary . What time in the morning was this video shot? . There’s no one about?
I believe I shot it at like 6 or 7 am on the weekend! It was nice being able to drive freely.
Checking up. No wonder you can't see so many people. 1 million people left Detroit
This was filmed during coronavirus, most of downtown Detroit is tourism or office based, other neighborhoods he drove through don’t have good public transit or are student based with students still off campus and not in person classes, not too shocking there’s so few.

Most of those 1 million never lived near downtown, and that population was maintained in the suburbs to this day, the metro area has never lost its population
Who cares about the number of people that left?? Detroit is just glad that you don’t live there🤓
I wouldn't live there if you payed me
They didn’t leave Detroit they just went to the burbs. Not many people are fleeing Michigan anymore people are starting to move in or move back. There’s a lot of investment geared towards Michigan/Great Lakes region which means they are preparing for a huge influx of people moving in.
@@awkwardsanchez6231 - the southwest is drying up, and we're loaded with fresh water. 🙂
What time were you driving?
This was like 8am on a Saturday morning.
@@drivingdan was wondering how streets were that empty and that's because we don't do much that early lol
Looks like early on a Sunday morning ?
I believe it was a Sunday. It was for sure early Saturday or Sunday. Great day.
DId you pass St Andrew's Hall?
Actually I don’t think I did.. but I love going to concerts there.
So where is everyone. ????
What is your favorite memory of Detroit?
July 18th, 2013.
If it wasn't for this moment in time, the footage in your video wouldn't exist.
Creí que Detroi solo era ruina por que la mayoría de los videos lo muestran Hasi
Why there's nobody in the streets?
It was taken on a weekend and around 7 or 8 am. It’s nice and quiet in the early morning.
Muito lindo mesmo mais aonde está as pessoas ruas desertas .
Thank you!! I agree!
Abandoned just not in ruins yet
Where are the people ?
They were hiding from me haha
Provedeš mne Detroit až tam přiletím?
where is the people
It was a Saturday morning 8am before during covid restrictions.
а где люди то???
Why is your car so noisy 😆 it's loud
Haha that’s because the camera is on the outside of the car!
