Detroit is HORRIBLE. But then it figures, Kwame Killpatrick was voted the 2nd worst mayor in the country. When you get outside of Detroit though (30 mins or so) you hit one of the richest counties in the country (Oakland County). So it has its good and its bad.
If it tells you anything, when I was 16 y/o (yes you read that right) I was an ARMED security guard at a Toys R' Us at 8 1/2 Mile and Gratiot. I saw a gunfight in the parking lot and quit the job that day. They gave me this rusted out 38 revolver and rusty ammunition. I think I spent a week on the job there. A year later I joined the Army (this was 15+ years ago).
