Being from the suburbs of Detroit and living here my entire life, you nailed it!! Thanks for showing my city in a great way!!
“Suburbs of Detroit” tell me you’re from royal oak without telling me you’re from royal oak
Born and raised in the D, Live in Pontiac now. Is that a "Suburb of Detroit", not sure. =)
@@trl2828 Pontiac is part of the greater Metro Detroit area, I lived in Waterford for over 50 years and I lived and worked in Detroit for a few years back in the early 70's!
Sooo good to see Detroit making a comeback. My sister sent pictures of downtown and it's looking wonderful. Have to visit there soon. Great to see you back in Michigan on this one. Safe travels!
I'm a former Detroiter.
I lived Downtown and Indian village and Miss the architecture and diverse dining that Detroit has.
I look forward to seeing Detroit built back better.
I do to and downtown has really turned around but the neighborhoods are still in shambles, the people that live there need jobs or Detroit will never be the city it once was!
Thank you for showing us in good light. We appreciate you
Thank you for this video. I have lived in the Detroit area my entire life. I have been blown away by the redevelopment that is happening downtown. You guys do a great job! My wife and I watched your videos on the UP last night as well and are now planning a trip for next summer. You reminded us how beautiful the UP really is.
On your next trip to Michigan I recommend going to the Henry Ford in Dearborn. Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village are Smithsonian level museums. There is so much great history to explore there.
Also, you guys should check out Ann Arbor. Great food and culture and the vibe is something you both will really love.
They are working hard to revive it! Great video, thanks.
Don't miss Greek Town the dessert shop called Astoria. So fresh
I don't know which one of you is controlling the video shots AND the color saturation but it is POPPING! Really nice, amazing colors. This video was super pro level. The content was great too... this from a metro Detroiter of over 20 years. You did the city great and found so many of our hidden gems. Thanks for visiting and we hope you return again soon! Sorry about your drone!!
Thanks John!
I (Dennis) do most all of the camera work + post color corrections while Liz does all the editing.
We're stoked to hear you enjoyed the Detroit vlog, thank you! - Dennis
Awesome video! This is one of my favorite cities to visit! Highlighted some places I haven’t been to and need to check out the next time I’m there. Definitely recommend a tour of Motown if you go back.
Awesome! We want to the museum was closed when we visited due to COVID. But plan to on our next trip.
Fantastic video! Detroit is the first city I visited in the USA - my cousins lived in Windsor ON and they took me to a Tigers game. This was many years ago when visitors were extremely cautious about where they went. Now Detroit looks like hipster heaven. I actually want to go! Well done!
I clicked 👍🏾 before I even watched! My city gets so much grief I get excited anytime we get shown in a positive light! Thank you 💯🙏🏽. New subbie! 😁👍🏾
Glad we could show a different side to it today! - Liz
Thank you for visiting our hometown! So awesome you wanted to visit a second time! Please come back a third time to visit Motown Studios, it is totally worth it! Also London Chop House is great for the history! Their bar rail has been home to the rat pack (Sinatra, Martin, and Sammy Davis Junior as well as Lee Iococca and many other peeps! Also check out the foyer of the Guardian Building, most magnificent in Detroit!
Thanks for doing an honest vlog on Detroit, esp re closings and reservations.
I've enjoyed watching all of your videos on your travels in Michigan as a born and raised Michigan resident. I used to not think much of my state but now I have a lot of love for my state. Particularly glad to see you go to Detroit. I think a lot of Michigan locals avoid it as much as tourists because of its reputation but it does have good points. I have an ex in Florida (he has a tough attitude and doesn't intimidate easily) who I explained that I live somewhere close to Detroit and his reaction was "Oh, even I know not to mess with Detroit!", I had no idea it was so notorious across the US as a dangerous place until he said that though I've always known it was fairly rough in parts. You just have to know the parts better to avoid and hopefully someday it will get back to a point where there is no area to avoid, is no longer known as a dangerous place and renewed as a must visit for anyone coming to Michigan. I hope to see it become a city somewhat similar to Chicago if it ever got to the point of perhaps being close to its former glory. What do you think? As a Michigan local that is close to Detroit and hopes for it to be restored, what do you think you as a tourist would like to see improved or added to Detroit that would make it more appealing to tourists and rewrite its negative reputation?
Sorry your trip to Detroit didn't go so well from things being closed and whatnot. I hope you'll consider another trip to Detroit at a time where you can experience the things you were hoping for. Warm regards and safe travels to you both from a new fan.
The farmer's market; I don't think most people in the USA realize how much farmland there is in Southern Michigan.
Michigan in general is mostly rural state outside of Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Lansing and southeast Michigan.
Congrats on breaking 50K followers. I did not notice. Great Job!
Thanks for your cool and enthusiastic videos about Michigan and Detroit.
Detroit is so vibrant. We live about half an hour north, but spent a weekend there in December 2019, just because and it was lovely. The people mover is a great trip to take and so is the Q-Line. Come back soon, we have space for you on our property- Happy Fall travels 💫
Liz, you and Dennis are the bomb for sharing the greatness of Detroit (across from Cleveland on Lake Erie! So happy you share and are up North seeing the Great Lakes Area of our states and our hospitality we feel we want to share! Detroit should, would, and will come back! Build and buy from the USA!
I loved seeing the bright side of Detroit. Indeed the name alone evokes up some negative thoughts. Love those huge markets. THE place to be on days like that. The food and the happy buzz of people make this a not to be missed event. I recently walked our city streets filming the street art murals too. Fabulous. Can't help but smile seeing the colorful decorations and artistic expressions. Looking forward to next week. Sorry to hear about the drone. 🙏 🇳🇿 🙋🇳🇱Thanks for another wonderful share.
Thank you, Glad you enjoyed it Oma!
Did you post your mural video already? I would love to see that.
Thank you for always traveling with us! - Dennis
@@EatSeeRV Yes, here is my Street Art video Dennis, apparently there have been some 'paint overs' recently. I plan to re-visit the spots in spring. Enjoy. th-cam.com/video/_n9VsT9PyLk/w-d-xo.html
After visiting Michigan in early October, we decided to see what places we could perhaps visit there again. We could not find anywhere to stay in the UP. So , we had a 2 week trip back to the southwest. Your channel was recommended and we have been binge watching the past 2 years of your travels. I must say we really enjoy the style of your work. The food, the history, the basic info is all great and will help us in our future travels when planning next years trips.
YAY, so glad you found us! Thank you for traveling with us! - Dennis
Watching from my office in Detroit! First time back since March 2020. You can see my office in the top right corner of the shot of Eastern Market. Belle Ile State park right in the middle of Downtown is beautiful and the State has open the historic aquarium.
Thank you for this video, am from Detroit I grown up going to the Eastern market with My Great Grandmother it was alot of fun .
That's wonderful! What a great market to have grown up with.
My favorite city. Lived, worked and went to school downtown. Love everything there... soooooo much to do!!!!!
Hey guys great to see you supporting Detroit. It was and still is an amazing city of the US. I don’t know who said it but Detroit isn’t dead, it just smells funny. Hahahahaha Cheers!!!
I live right across the river in Windsor, Ontario Canada! 🇨🇦
Awesome videos
You guys do such a great job.
Thank you so much Gene! 🤩
Interesting video, very well done 👏
Thanks J.G.
I'm going to visit the city of Detroit.. never gave much thought of it but it really is an important city in history
Having spent most of my adult years in Chicago, I know to take the media / popular portrayal of a city with a grain of salt. Detroit looks great and visit-worthy! Added a few of your stops to my Google Maps. Liz’s fall vibe is indeed on point. 🍁
Haha thanks Tara!
Great video,love Detroit
I'm shocked that they didn't get all their expensive camera gear jacked.
Good afternoon from Godley, Texas, after having to go to the dark side since you entered Mexico it's a pleasure to be back and check out the new adventures. Thanks.
I grew up there. It was nice in the 50's and 60's I am 73. I haven't been there since I use to go to shows there in the late 90's.
Is a person who grew up just outside of the city of Detroit my mom was born and raised in Detroit the city is very underappreciated and people are afraid because the bad reputation of the crime and fires if people who put the same effort in doing good as in the bad amazing things could be done
Yes it's a shame. It is a great city
Detroit is on our list...great to hear they have great Ramen places! SORRY about your drone...sigh.
I was in Eastern Market the same day your were there.
Small world!
Thanks!
Michigander here. Detroit is so tough even the birds are dishing out shade, shitting in tourist's drinks. I bet he was like, "You want a piece of this, **?" LOL -- sorry you had to endure that -- Glad your trip was otherwise fun.
Hahaha 😂
Happy you liked Detroit. Live in the area. Lots to do. Next time hit Cafe D’Mongos Speakeasy.
Will do thanks for the tip!
Oh my God Liz! Motown was closed!!!! (be still my heart) I never heard that Motown Music ever closes. Motown will never end, and continues on on You Tube (thank you for showing the past You Tube)!
I lived across the street from the stripe mural in the thumbnail, in Eastern Market. It was a great lace to live before the rents went through the roof.
That's fun! The stripe mural is so cool. Yes, sadly rents went soaring in so many places make it hard for those who have been there a long time (we feel it where we're from in Florida too).
I was born in Wyandotte, grew up in Detroit.
There's so much to see and do in Detroit and the surrounding areas.
You've got 3 HUGE casinos, (there's a 4th in Windsor, ON but you'll need a passport to get to it.) Lots of museums, bars, sports venues, restaurants and so much more.
I recommend the Henry Ford in Dearborn. It's a MEGA museum with a replica village, IMAX theater AND they have shuttles to the Ford rouge factory for tours. They have Abraham Lincoln's bloody theater chair, 4 retired presidential Limousines, Taft's carriage, the bus that Rosa Parks was arrested on, a HUGE indoor train exhibit, and so much more!
For a good eat, i recommend any coney island restaurant. It's A Detroit tradition. Make sure you save some Faygo and better made chips for me! I live in grand forks, ND now and I miss it.
It’s great to see Detroit again. I have not been there since 2004. I used to live near Detroit. I’m glad you both went back there again. They do have great Pierogies there. Hamtramck has better pierogies. Especially at festival time. Home made pierogies are good. The best., Dennis does really well with eating with chop sticks. Hope you have a great night
Have a great week and see you soon!
Yum, we'll have to add Hamtramck to our list then. When is festival time? In the fal?
@@EatSeeRV Ya I think so! Somewhere around October.
Do you suggest an area of Detroit to get an Airbnb or hotel and did you notice if downtown has paid parking. Thank you!
Forget all the "Detroit: Where the weak are killed and eaten." It's now "Detroit: Where all the good food can be eaten!" Come see the city and the 'burbs - we are doing great things! Yes - every large city will have the 'no go' areas, but Detroit is just wonderful.
I agree! It's got a GREAT culinary scene
I grew up just a couple of miles west of downtown back in the 70's and early 80's and it was rough. BTW Detroit had its peak at the end of WW2 in 1948 with an estimated population of 2.1 million and 2.2 million within 140 square miles if its enclaves of Highland Park and Hamtramck were included. That would have briefly put it at the nations 3rd largest city. The resource on that info is the Detroit Free Press.
I was born and raised in Detroit. Lots missing here - Bell Isle, Greektown, and the Henry for Musem?
Dennis you are so much fun with Liz, keep sharing! If you two come to Cleveland Ohio to see the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, I would be honored to put you two up at my house in Brunswick, Ohio! Give me a side channel to talk if you can because I do not do this text thing well.!
Hi David, thank you so much for all your kind comments! We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying traveling with us here on the tube.
Your offer to host us is most generous and appreciated. Send us an email with your contact info to eatseerv@gmail. com
Thank you so much! - Dennis

Hope and Pray to Return to Work

I grew up in Detroit and Taylor Township. I lived at 15494 Piedmont which is on the West side. Area is Rosedale Park. My old high school (Class of '77!) Redford High School was torn down and there's a big grocery store in it's place now. Detroit Zoo would have been a good spot to visit and Greenfield Village\Henry Ford Museum too. maybe next time...
People who live here don't think of "Detroit" as ending at the city limits of Detroit. Instead, we think of it as the five-county metro area, and I'd include Cranbrook as another great day trip, plus Kensington Metropark, too. There is a lot of loyalty in the people who reside here. All those people who used to live in the city moved out into the surrounding suburbs, as did most of the big businesses, when the City instituted an income tax in the mid-1960's. Reporting the current population residing in the City of Detroit is misleading. The five-county area has over 4,000,000 residents, many of whom live in spectacular lakefront homes in Oakland County. That wealth, and that population, can support a wide variety of museums, public parkland, and other fine tourist attractions.
@@Yesquire0people ✋🏾that actually live in Detroit do not claim anything but Wayne County Detroit.
I was Husky too❤❤❤❤❤”94” it’s a Meijers now😞but I shop there all the time and my tribe is holding Rosedale❤❤❤ come Home and visit it’s almost Dream cruise time so you know 7 mile we gone do our own thang over there our way
btw... you can over-night free at the Interstate rest area sw of Detroit... if anyone objects I have an email from my state rep which explains this issue.
Hitsville is well worth a visit.
This is my city. Love it
Have you returned to Detroit? It's thriving. Try a visit to Ford Station
Thank you, we did hear that as a recommendation but tours were booked when we were visiting.
@@EatSeeRV correct and I think they are free tours too
I really enjoyed the video. But haven't seen what is actually to do in Detroit (which is surely great city and has a lot).
I've lived in Detroit for 12 years and grew up downriver. The change from how it looked in 2009 to today is practically night and day. When I was growing up, downtown was a ghost town outside 9-5, now it's a destination spot for people worldwide.
So glad to see its making a comeback!
Henry Ford museum and Greenfield Village. Is worth a day in itself. Great videos on My Michigan though.
Thanks!
Lucky #7: It is supposed to be good luck when a bird poops on you. What does it mean when it poops in your drink? I guess it means you go thirsty. We went to the Detroit Auto Show back in 2006. We even rode the bus from the airport to the Cabo Center. Talking about all of the civil rights. Maybe one day people will live more in accordance with one of the great truths of the Bible. Love your neighbor as yourself!
P.S. Liz: Was it like an eye for an eye? You know, a bird for a bird? 😀😀😀
That Johnnie Noodle King used to be a Ham restaurant that did breakfast and lunch back around 10 years ago
I'm sure it's changed notably. 10 years ago many of the places in Detroit weren't there.
Just be careful where you go and what time of day. It's better than a few years ago and has some very nice and exciting things to see and experience but do so with eyes open. Some suburbs are beautiful and safe others not so much. Be careful on the roads reckless driving is the norm
It is an incredible city! \m/ \m/❤🔥
Come to black bottom Eastside st. Aubin and forest
The Whitney is worth a trip.
wait till you encounter a stick up
Let us know when you come back again. Full hookups in my paved circle front drive out in White Lake Township... just north of Detroit. Stay as long as you want even if we are traveling. No charge of course. Full internet as well.
Hi Ernie, we're stoked to hear that you enjoyed the Detroit vlog!
Thank you so much for your generous offer to host us. It's much appreciated!
If you don't mind, please send us an email with your contact info to eatseerv@gmail.com so we can contact you next time we're in town.
Thanks again! - Dennis
Do you rent your spot out to other rvers? We are visiting Detroit the end of august and have yet to find a campground
I took a trip down there.... Wasn't my cup of tea. And I'm open Carrie
Wow I live like ten minutes away from Detroit lol
Yes In 2022 The Answer That Is The Lead Out Under The Umbrella Is A Much Larger Population Is Very Much Needed More Various Job Opportunities And More Improved School System,More Police After The Pandemic!!!"Thank You For Sharing!!!"😉😉😉🎈🎈😉😉😉
You need a part 107 to fly your drone and further a business. Yes youtube is a business, also you cant be flying over cars and people like that. You guys could get in some serious trouble from the FAA, im not trying to be "that guy" i just dont want to see anyone get in trouble and make it harder on those of us who use drones for a living.
😊
I love Detroit Michigan but im afraid of crime😂😂😂
😵💫
must be a miserable life living in fear.....
Do an update.
Would love to return to Detroit again!
They Brew Strohs beer in Detroit again 🍺🙂
With only two days we can't do it all! Thanks for sharing other places worth exploring for others who may be visiting though. - Liz
While I am a huge fan of cities…. and am always rooting for rust belt cities…. I think it’s a bit premature to be hailing the Motor City with all of these wild accolades…. It certainly seems better than in the recent past… but the bar is set pretty low. Let’s enjoy what has improved and work towards gradual improvement but reading some of the responses here is almost Orwellian.
Cities can appeal to different people in different ways. I enjoy some of it's unique "character" not being full back. Most other cities are so unattainable and expensive, it's not as easy to connect or find a place. I'm all for progress, but we can't progress so far Detroit loses what makes it special. I think it's in a fun spot right now!
I understand what you are saying… but as far as a clean functioning safe financial solvent city Detroit is not even close…. 40-60% of the cityscape is abandoned….it’s amazing to see that Dresden and Hiroshima are healthy functioning cities and a significant percentage of US cities are not…
Ah man no mom's spaghetti??
Tell me more!
@@EatSeeRV Eminem opened up his owned restaurant in Downtown Detroit called moms spaghetti so I wanna go try it haha
You didnt try mom's spaghetti?
lol, not this time.
It's pity.. 😔
I wonder if any of these food places are vegan friendly….
There are lots of vegan options in the city, we just aren't vegan so don't necessarily seek that out! - Liz
How do you not know what Motown is?? Really???
l love yours vídeos but if can put subtitles in Spanish please
Yes we will start doing that again.
Gracias por ver!
There’s nothing to do in Detroit. Maybe the suburbs/ Downtown. But that does not count!!
You better mention all the million dollar projects they're putting into Detroit. Oof I don't vibe with your intro to this video at all about Detroit. I won't be watching the rest of the video.
Okay 👍
@@EatSeeRV The city is not bankrupt anymore why would you start off the vlog and say things that are no longer true for 2022-2023 lmfao
The vlog aired in 2021 and many people still envision Detroit in its bankrupt state. The opener was to address the vision many people have and then show that it's not true. We actually mention how much development has gone into the city as of late and how beautiful fun and inviting it is. You definitely don't have to watch we know our videos won't be for everyone!
@@EatSeeRV exactly why people who envision it that way and say it like that are the ones spreading false information. Constantly talking about the "run down" "bankrupt" place is what keeps people away from visiting.
Over the years since we started recovering from covid lockdowns, I started loving Detroit much more than any city in the Tri-State Area. When I take mass transit like as Long Island Railroad, Metro-North Railroad, and New Jersey Transit RR (NJT cancellations COUGH COUGH), I picture myself in Detroit at every station stopped at or bypassed! I also picture myself in Detroit when I eat at various places in the Tri-State Area. Detroit and its surrounding Metro Areas in my opinion also have SO MANY friendly people, especially girls/women, and I think about all the vibes spread when using mass transit in my home region. I am DYING to visit this beautiful city someday! 💞💞💞💞
P.S. The woman presenting is SO CUTE
still not interested though
Think it wrong to be asking for money to help u buy a new drone- r you going to contribute to my retirement fund- put ur big boy pants on n take care of yourself!!
Some people like to contribute as a way to say thanks for the work we do. If you want something ask for it, it's not a requirement for watching or enjoying our videos. But it is appreciated. And I'd like to mention we do contribute to you're retirement plan by paying social security taxes. The same program that that will never pay me back when I reach retirement age. Comments like this literally help no one, but maybe make you feel better.
Sounds like you think ur entitled to a free ride in stead of working for it- spoiled rich liberal!
Oh yes, we don't work for our income at all. These videos just magically come together like this. Lol why comment if you don't enjoy our videos? ✌️
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!
My wife and I love your videos and have been watching for a long time, but PLEASE; stop with the close ups of Liz shoving food in her face! There is nothing more disgusting than watching someone eat! Surely you can talk about the different foods without subjecting us to the close ups! You are a good looking girl and it is not a good look!
Comment noted, but eating's a part of life. In order to eat I have to put food in my mouth. Good look or not -- it's reality! We hope you will continue watching, but understand if not all of the vlog appeals to you. - Liz
Same old boring spots people been talking about
Thanks 🎉🎉🎉
You're super cute and bubbly.
What the heck is a perogi
Thanks!
Thank you so much David! We appreciate your support here (this is going directly to our drone fund!)
