      Two cities you can compare that would make a brilliant video are Manchester & Liverpool over here in the UK!
      They have a huge rivalry be it music, sports, accents, industry etc it’s hilarious
      But the history of the rivalry’s origins are so fascinating when you research it
      Honestly I’d love to see that as a video from you :)
      Take care

      Note Detroit city literally did a 360. Detroit is known for many things such as the eastern market, Greek town and bells island which the video never mentioned. I should add Detroit zoo, Detroit Shinola, art museum and their professional sports.
      Also never mentioned is the current skyscraper Detroit is building which will be the tallest out of all the buildings in Detroit and in Michigan.
      Last but not least Detroit was the Silicon Valley of America back in its heyday and it appears to be heading back to gain that title again thanks to Fords new building for AI and autonomous cars being built in downtown. To add Detroit was also known for building airplanes, X-ray machines, and famous music performers, the first record company etc. The city was so ahead of the times they had the first home phones in USA, phone books (as a city) and first paved highway, police cars, traffic signal lights etc. also invented light bulb.
      Currently Detroit has increased in a diverse population by 1,000 in a year and many new projects all over the city. Yahoo, google etc have moved in too and more coming.
      Watch out The Sleeping Giant woke up. Detroit is back alive. Cleavland is also turning around too. I wish both northern cities well as they return to glory .

New York City is loosing population still a great city the population decline in Detroit and Cleveland actually stabilized and is not as bad as it used to be. Many tech companies are leaving the west coast and the east coast and moving to Cleveland same thing for Detroit. Ford is actually building a electric car assembly plant in Detroit and ford is adding 20K jobs to Detroit that’s a huge boost and will really help out Detroit. And this pandemic is making people choose places like Detroit and Cleveland for the low cost of living and people are leaving cities like Los Angeles Portland and New York City. Do your research kid you know nothing about the country I bet you don’t even know what caused the decline of these once great cities in the first place.

    I’ve lived in both cities. Now I’m in Cleveland. I will say Detroit was way more fun for me as far as night life and shopping/dining but I can’t speak for everyone. Cleveland has better site seeing for me out in the suburbs (where most people really live) beautiful parks and arts. If I would have to choose it would be Cleveland only because the cost of living and great suburbs to choose from that are very affordable and well kept. Not saying Detroit doesn’t have that but suburbs around Detroit can be pretty expensive (but well worth it). You can’t judge the two from this video. Travel to both, they both have a lot to offer.

    I've lived in the Cleveland area my whole life, so I'm a little biased. However, I think in order to experience Cleveland, and probably Detroit, is to have a local take you around. Everyone loves to shit on Cleveland, even the mayor who called us the butthole of the world, but I've learned over the years that the locals secretly hate on Cleveland so no one moves here and destroys this hidden gem of a city. I mean Cleveland has a phenomenal theatre scene, the local food and brewery scenes are thriving, there's a National Park just out of town and the Cleveland Metroparks make up the Emerald Necklace. I moved out of the area for several years during and after college, but having travelled coast to coast, there's something about Cleveland that just drew me back. I think it's the city experience but with friendly small town atmosphere. Anyone reading this who has ever been a Cleveland sceptic, I assure you that we're worth a visit!

Our sports teams have not been overwhelmingly good, but the fans are amazingly loyal and vocal. If you get sick, Cleveland is a good place to be with the Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals right here. We have amazing theater district.....don't need to go to New York, a world famous orchestra and art museum......plus the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We might be short on glamour, but folks here are friendly and generous. I've been other places, but for me, there's no place like home !

    I was born in Cleveland and lived there until I was 9, in '98, at which point I moved to Georgia and have been here since. I was too young to gauge Cleveland's quality relative to anywhere else, lacking a lot of other points of reference, but my house and yard there were small and cramped, and I certainly appreciated the bigger place we upgraded to in Georgia, and the more rural surroundings. I definitely have some happy memories of the city, though. The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and Sea World Cleveland were two of my favorite places in the world as a kid, and I spent a lot of time in the Rocky River Reservation, one of the Metroparks, especially its nature center. I remember the natural history museum being nice, too.
    I've made a few short trips back to Cleveland to visit family, most recently in 2013, and I've become steadily more aware of how run down and... not great... the place is, and am not in any hurry to live there again. Even the zoo didn't impress on the last visit, and of course Sea World is long gone. The Rocky River Reservation is still very nice, though, and its nature center had been totally renovated since I was a kid, I'd say it's worth a visit. I need to get back up there and visit the Cleveland Aquarium at some point.
    Anyway, I'm glad to know Cleveland is in the process of improving, and that Progressive Field is no longer haunted by sadness.

      @@Dan_Gyros Eh, I'll still give it a try. I went to the art museum once when I was about five; I was way too young to appreciate art, so all I remember is that I knocked over a big metal guard rail (not my fault, I hardly touched it! It was just really badly balanced on its supports!). It made the loudest, most over-the-top crash you've ever heard, and just echoed through the whole building. A whole squad of security guards came charging in with their guns drawn, though they calmed right down when they realized what happened. We didn't get into any trouble or anything, but we left right away just to be safe.

The rapid transit line is the red line I think and it goes to the airport and goes downtown and out to the east side period and they have a blue line and a green line rapid Transit line that serves the Rock and roll Hall of Fame the museum campus and then they go out to Shaker heights and some other area. They also have the terminal tower.

    Both were great cities that were devastated by manufacturing loss and white flight to suburbs. Live in Cleveland but also just outside Detroit, which I go back to often. Been all over the country and these remain two of my favorite places! You can have those sparkly, growth cities of the south and southwest.Plus we have the best accents! Basically the same as the accent associated with Chicago since it is basically a Great Lakes region accent that can be heard along the shorelines in the industrial cities from Buffalo to Milwaukee.

    so i grew up in the Cleveland area and now live 30 minutes south of Detroit. I LOVE Cleveland. well the cleveland area. so much to offer. it gets a bad rap but really surprises people when they visit. 5 star chef run restuaruants. musuems and music. sports. and the gorgeous view of the lake. Detroit is also a really nice city in the downtown area. great various cultural resturaunts. the monorail to get around easily. lors of gorgeous architecture and a lot of art. I am loving living in Michigan. Much of michigan has wonderful nature. Michigan also is o a state with one of the most waterfront properties. i actually live on an island and have nearby one of the nations protected marshlands and a park that is one of the stops for many migatory birds. we also have quite a large Bald Eagle population. Weekends you see all types of boats on the river. from small fishing boats, small and very large personal watercrafts and frieghters. The midwest gives you the most for your money. There are oppoutinities for trades and many non college jobs can be successful if you have a good blue collar work ethic. it is a well kept secret how good life can be and we kinda like it that way.

    As a native Metro Detroiter, I enjoyed this video! You did not mention that both NFL teams are the only two teams to go winless in a season (Detroit in 2008 and Cleveland in 2017). What makes Detroit unique is how close it is to Canada-the tunnel to Canada nor the Gordie Howe Bridge were not mentioned. (The Gordie Howe Bridge is set to open in 2024. The Ambassador Bridge is the current bridge that connects Detroit and Canada.) Detroit is really developing and becoming a very hot market. Most people I meet when I travel only hear the bad things, such as crime and poverty. Don’t quote me, but I believe in 1929 Detroit was the fastest growing city in the world. Also, the Michigan Central Station was not mentioned. All in all, I love this channel, these videos remind me of my 9th grade US History teacher who also taught my US Government class in the 11th grade. This is one of my favorite channels on TH-cam!

    I live in Cleveland. And I lived in a Detroit suburb (Waterford) for about 3 years in the 90s. I love both cities. But Cleveland is my hometown, and so I am a bit bias. Cleveland's good and bad points. Starting with the good. Cleveland is a very cultural city, which most people around the country aren't aware of. We have a world renowned orchestra, The Cleveland Symphony. In the performing arts, we have more theater seats for Broadway shows, than anywhere else in the world bèsides Broadway itself. We have an enormous art museum, which was a gift to the city by Rockafeller, a one time Cleveland resident. We have beautiful sunsets on Lake Erie. And we have world renowned health care, with the Cleveland Clinic. The cost of living is low. And we have a great system of beautiful parks which surround the city. Locals call it the Emerald Necklace. Cleveland Metroparks is the proper name. On the bad end. We do have more than our fair share of crime. Unfortunately Cleveland is considered the most dangerous big city in Ohio. Our sports teams have struggled to win championships. But finally the Cavs won the NBA title in 2016. Over 50 years since a Cleveland team won a championship game. Although our Browns are showing great potential after 21 years since we became the reborn Browns. The city has a lot of blighted areas. Our public schools are rated as some of the worst in the country. Although individual schools within the system vary. We sometimes suffer through brutal winters. And our politicians are the worst. With the exception of a good council rep here and there.
    Detroit. To me, Detroit looked and felt like a much scarier place than Cleveland's toughest areas. And that's saying something. Corktown seems to be up and coming. I loved the Motown museum and the Henry Ford Museum. The Red Wings have a huge fan base in Detroit, and they are among the best in the NHL. The Detroit Zoo is nice, and has lots of exhibits. The Woodward Ave cruise is always a great thing to see. The best and most beautiful classic cars cruising the main drag. The winters in Detroit do seem colder , but less snow is correct. Unfortunately I have never had the chance to visit the art museum in Detroit. Nor have I ever heard their orchestra play. But the Fox Theater in Downtown Detroit is huge and beautiful. And I am so happy to see Ford Field and Comerica Park in Downtown Detroit. People having to drive all the way to Pontiac for a Lions game has to suck. If you live down river and have tickets to a game, you're almost tempted to give them away for the 50 mile drive to the Silverdome. The Casinos downtown are cool. My favorite is the Motown. So that pretty much sums up my experience with both cities. I think both cities deserve respect in the sense that they were two of the nation's largest cities for many years. When towns like Houston and Phoenix were just one horse towns. And they were and to some degree are, industrial giants.

    Here's one left out terrible fun fact Belle Isle is a island downtown in Detroit you have to cross a bridge to get to, its like a huge park family friendly fun place with multiple parks, driving range, club house, police station, the infamous giant slide, and zoo, the sad thing about it now is that its sinking rather quickly now starting with the part we called "The Strip" its definitely not the same but as you said its under ton and tons of new development in fact downtown Detroit looks so good now its unrecognizable it is now a tourist attraction in my opinion.

I knew both cities had alot of similarities because we're both rust belt cities with alot of the same social problems. Ironically, most of us in Detroit have relatives in Cleveland and vice-versa. Thank God both cities are slowly getting better because it sure couldn't get any worse lol. Great informative video, thank you for sharing 😊👍

    I'm a life long Metro Detroiter and I married a woman whose mom and sister and nephew and stepdad live in Cleveland. I love both cities, they are both charming in their own ways. Downtown Cleveland is awesome, with Progressive Field and Rocket Mortgage Arena next to each other. The baseball stadium is just awesome the Cavs home arena is nice. Then a little more east in downtown Cleveland is First Energy Stadium and it looks beautiful from the outside and it's nice inside too. Then next door is The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and that looks beautiful too. The inside is phenomenal! I always enjoy when we visit her family cuz it's always fun. I try to get to a few Indian games a year, and try to see the Tigers there once a year. Downtown Detroit is pretty awesome now. There is no shortage of things to do. Comerica Park and Ford Field are next door to each other and it looks beautiful. And a quarter mile up the street is the best arena in sports. Little Cesar's Arena is phenomenal a lot of it is built in ground. So when you drive up to it, it looks like a very cool building but if you didn't know better you might not think it's arena. Inside LCA is state of the art. In the back of the Arena there is another ice rink and that's the Redwings training facility. So if the Pistons are playing a home game or if there is a concert, the Redwings can still train at the arena. LCA is one of few hockey/basketball arenas that have 2 concourses one in the upper bowl and one in the lower bowl, and this makes it so much easier to get around with a sellout crowd. Also Downtown Detroit has 3 casinos with hotels and if that isn't enough drive 5 minutes away under the tunnel to Windsor Ontario and they have a Cesar's casino and hotel and a little performance arena inside. I give a slight edge to Detroit but Cleveland is a close 2nd. I forgot to mention that Cleveland has a downtown casino, and about 15 to 20 minutes away in Northfield they have Northfield Downs a racetrack and a casino in one, a Racing. Both towns are worth a long weekend trip.

      Detroit city literally did a 360. Detroit is known for many things such as the eastern market, Greek town and bells island which the video never mentioned. I should add Detroit zoo, Detroit Shinola, art museum and their professional sports.
      Also never mentioned is the current skyscraper Detroit is building which will be the tallest out of all the buildings in Detroit and in Michigan.
      Last but not least Detroit was the Silicon Valley of America back in its heyday and it appears to be heading back to gain that title again thanks to Fords new building for ai and autonomous cars being built in downtown. To add Detroit was also known for building airplanes, X-ray machines, and famous music performers. The city was so ahead of the times they had the first home phones in USA, phone books (as a city) and first paved highway, police cars, traffic signal lights etc. also invented light bulb.
      Currently Detroit has increased in a diverse population by 1,000 in a year and many new projects all over the city. Yahoo, google etc have moved in too and more coming.
      Watch out The Sleeping Giant woke up. Detroit is back alive. Cleavland is also turning around too. I wish both northern cities well as they return to glory .

    Cleveland resident - Both towns have great art museums. The fires on the Cuyahoga have been caused by rafts of greasy flotsam, which is bad enough, but it was not the water itself that caught fire. Up until the late 1960's the area that is now the Canalways Metroparks was an industrial boneyard and chemical dumping ground. Our then mayor Carl Stokes and Senator Lewis Stokes and others secured funding to clean it up and reclaim the land. Today it is a jewel filled with wildlife and I have seen coyote, bald eagles, snapping turtles, great blue herons and mink on my walks in that park which is in the middle of inner city neighborhoods.

      Cleveland is more compact and walkable than Detroit, with fewer people and less traffic and MUCH more public transit besides regular city buses. Plus, the Cleveland Orchestra is among the Big Five ensembles, alongside those of Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and Boston (though that concept is somewhat dated by now), while the Detroit Symphony falls just short of that level of prestige.

    Of course being from Cleveland, I must say it's better. And xyla moved away, so I don't like her anymore haha.
