Born and raised in Detroit, left 10 years ago, I won’t look back on the move but this touches my heart! Every member of my family owned homes and died here. I was born in the 80s so I never got to see this beauty my city held
Every night I park my truck on night shift and admire Detroit. You can still see old power house and architecture. Wish you could have before and after pictures. Architecture should have never changed. Nothing compares
My father Johnny Ray Wearing graduated from Eastern High School in June 1943. A month later he was drafted and ended up in the back of a B-17 as the tailgunner on the 5 Grand. All our boys were heros back then.They all knew the difference between right and wrong and few pushed the envelope like today. I learned how to be a man from him and till this day at 66 I hold dear his high standards.I will so till the day I die. The US was great for a minute and I lived during that time. Sadly our system is run by people that are so corrupt that when they do something honest ,it's most likely an error.
I'm from Memphis MI and I always thought we were nothing but farmers although My grandfather left the farm to work in Detroit in the early 40's . As an only son he was unable to join the military. He worked as an inspector for Chrysler making sure all the windows and lights were painted blue and not visible for threat aireal bombing during night hence Detroit was not only the birthplace of automobiles its also one of our most largests deposits of Iron oar in the United States of America and The GREAT LAKES OF MICHIGAN! God bless Texas but thank you MICHIGAN! The felling is forever ❤
In 1965, Detroit was voted the most promising city in the USA. This award was given each year to an individual city by government facts and research polls. In 1967, only 2 years after that presentation, it was the beginning of it's demise!
@Jay Jay Obviously you have never been for a visit. Beautiful places here in Detroit that people comment about all the time. The Architecture and history alone is something to see and learn about. Always a hater and negative people out there like yourself.
@Jay Jay I'm not trying to embrace filth, i agree its awful on that side of town really sad. I also have history with relatives that have lived and worked down there. Can't we agree that all major cities have bad areas because that's a fact. I enjoy Detroit and its history and architecture, plus Belle Isle and much more. I just came back from there and enjoyed a coffee and Campus Martius ice skating. It looks like a wonderland down there right now. I make the trip down to Detroit a few times a week and always see something new and interesting. I don't believe in what's evil is called good I just like the city.
when men had ambition and wanted to build a meaningful society and families owned businesses. before wall street took over and did not give a rats ass about the community. born and raised, left in 1960
The damn union took that over, but you know what without a union we would have no civility so I commend our country doe the actions it took to be where it resides today
Late 1800’s to early 1900’s was Detroit’s Renaissance period. Buildings were works of art! Not like the garbage heaps we have today in Detroit! Those old days are now long gone, never to reappear ever!
What reason would there be to thumbs down this video? Haha man some people are so weird. I love my city and I’m so happy to see it coming back from the dead.
I love how so many of you think you know anything about Detroit today. Yes the city for decades was dead, but it’s seen a revival unlike the world has ever seen. According to Forbes magazine it has more money going into it than the next 4 most invested in cities in America combined. It’s a magnificent city with some of the most beautiful architecture which is why it was nicknamed “the Paris of the west” Maybe do a little research before you spout off about this incredible city.
SuperSix Delta Detroit over the past 5 years has made a huge comeback. It has more money going into it than the next 4 most invested in city’s in America combined.
Deighton111 I didn’t say I want to live there or would. It’s an amazing place to visit especially if you’re into architecture. From my experience it’s amazing, not a dump.
SuperSix Delta You have not idea what you’re talking about. Detroit has been revived faster than any city ever. Over the past 5 years Detroit has more money going into it than the next four most invested in cities in America combined. It’s amazing and not what most of the world thinks it is.
Detroit has gaslights, kerosene lamps, arc lights and Edison style lamps as street lights, while the neighboring city, Dearborn (formerly Dearbornville and Springwells Township) has kerosene lamps, and Edison style lamps as street lights, but the town is too small to have gas lights and arc lights.
Detroit’s turnaround I think will be gradual and take a long time. People who can’t afford the ridiculously high price of real estate elsewhere will start considering Detroit. Just look at the high prices in LA, Seattle, and San Francisco, most people can’t afford them now.
Most of Detroits old buildings of the mid 1800's were Founded! There's no way they built those buildings! Founded meaning, they Found it!!! Watch Jonlevi videos on this subject! You will be amazed!
Wow! That was Detroit! I love the buildings, even the streets! That was Detroit! Look at it now! Loserville! Everything was beautiful then! Kills me to see what has happened to it!

Pasadena apartments are still there and in great shape. 1 bedroom with 2 baths!!! $750.00 a month. In nyc it would go fo millions.
Amazing, wonderful, knowledgeable, unforgettable.

Rest well old friend.
Thank you for this beautiful video of my beloved and still beautiful Detroit. 🙏

Makes you think of what it really was and the great place it was
Civilized clean race of people lived there then
when men had ambition and wanted to build a meaningful society and families owned businesses. before wall street took over and did not give a rats ass about the community. born and raised, left in 1960
The damn union took that over, but you know what without a union we would have no civility so I commend our country doe the actions it took to be where it resides today
The best 4 minutes that I've had in a long time.
Late 1800’s to early 1900’s was Detroit’s Renaissance period. Buildings were works of art! Not like the garbage heaps we have today in Detroit! Those old days are now long gone, never to reappear ever!
good job. back when the D was awesome!

Ur wrong I been staying in Detroit since I was born been 40 years and all that funded money isn’t going to be used properly at all
Goodbye, Detroit. You've been cast to the scavengers and rodents.

A bunch of azz holes dont know what they are.talking about
Great architecture I wonder how many are still standing??
Many ! some finaly beaing Restored. by who? Muslims How strang . and Chinese
Most of the buildings are still standing from that time period and are still in use. Many more are being restored.
It doesn't matter. There's a fake sense of rejuvenation in the city, but it'll all come to nothing in the end. Detroit is dead.
@@firefightergoggie nope

Street addresses and even map locations would be a REALLY nice addition if ths video is ever lengthened, augmented, or re-edited.

Detroit was a European city at that time.
Now it's one big ghetto.
Human Being wrong.
Where was that "House of correction" location? That the one they tore down in Plymouth??
dehoco
The first Detroit House of Correction opened in 1861 near Detroit's Eastern Market.
So they listened to the United nations and said globalism and open borders, right look at the cities that's once was pride and joy.
Beautiful video. Song: Wet Teapot by Emily Shepard..

@@klu753 racist.
Great music choice

Wikipedia. But a demolition date would be further information
Most of Detroits old buildings of the mid 1800's were Founded!
There's no way they built those buildings!
Founded meaning, they Found it!!!
Watch Jonlevi videos on this subject!
You will be amazed!
Why did they build Detroit with bricks??

Copping a feel.
Wow! That was Detroit! I love the buildings, even the streets! That was Detroit! Look at it now! Loserville! Everything was beautiful then! Kills me to see what has happened to it!
