    Ive been to Detroit twice for mission trips. It's not as bad as the news portraits it. Most of it is safe in the day and most of the people are great. I had a friend that spent the whole summer their and she did not have any bad experiences that I know of. They are rebuilding but it will be a slow growth.

      honestly. Detroit is not a bad city. There is a few bad parts just like any other city in the world. Not every city is perfect. Crime has actually dropped and the city is actually starting to renew its self again. I go to detroit all the time, downtown is one of the most nicest and prettiest things ever. I've driven in bad parts of detroit at 11 pm at night also. After prom for example because we had it at a place called Rooster Tail. Nothing was ever sketchy about it at all. Everyone was just minding their own business even with people walking around at 12 am even kids where walking around there that late. Detroit is one of the most rich history filled city in the U.S. It is an amazing city and is not like what anyone else thinks. I live 20 minuets away from it.

He did in fact give shelter to Charles, a homeless black man, in his piece of the Packard. Fernando Palazuelo purchased the Packard Plant, but not all of it. Some of it is still un-owned.

      @@I_cant_sneed Didn't think this was english class. A lot of people lock their doors and if YOU don't then that's your problem. It has nothing to do with the area YOU stay in dumbass

    that is only a small portion of detroit, go into the city and experience how beautiful and awesome detroit really is. i feel like so many people have the wrong idea of detroit.. yes there are areas that are not safe and run down building in some as well but that only makes up a small portion of detroit, and they are working so hard to bring back these areas as well. the progress detroit is making is insane. #comebackcity

    Really cool that you covered the Packard Plant. Hope if you return, you cover the place in its entirety. Packard: “Just ask the man who owns one”.

      I think the potential for Detroit is huge like the developers were saying about it if some in the right way we could see Detroit becoming like it is in the game

    Bro, I've been watching you since the beginning, but you're driving me nuts with the word ''library''. There's R's in it, it's not li-berry,
    Li-br-ary.
