| I went to University in Windsor, and Detroit was just NASTY. Wayne State Medical Library was just a little into the city, so we used to cross over to access the numerous resources for projects and reports. We had to drive through the scariest neighbourhood I have ever seen. Massive empty houses, scary ppl. And the worst roads you can imagine. Potholes that would swallow a small car. We went over for a NYE party once, and we were right in the middle of a gang war. Gunshots heard all night, we saw a car get shot up just a block over from us when we were stopped at a red light. NOBODY was stopping for red lights. And the scene was awful - dirty, minimal, no lights and no decorations, ppl cracked out on the nastiest drugs. |

No, not in the good way you're thinking. Like, lots of dirt on the floor and walls and in the fingernails of the ppl we met. There was just a hole in the ground where the toilet should have been. And minimal, like the sound system had 2 tiny speakers. |

Toronto was less of a major city back in 1950s. But now you can't compare the two. I wonder if the decline will continue. It must be kind of depressing for some.
I'd like to visit Detriot one day.
