No you are right, but this is a thread about Detroit.

You say that until you are down there on one of "those nights."

I live in Colorado now for school, but my family still lives in West Bloomfield. The last time I was home was over summer break. I went to one of the pre-season Lions games that was at the same time as a Kid Rock concert at Comerica August 13, 2011. My friend that went with me sent me a text the next day, "yesterday in Detroit, 9 isolated different shooting, 16 shots fired, 7 dead." Meanwhile, our former mayor is in prison.

Detroit is an absolute mess and it's getting worse and worse. Most of the city is absolutely unsafe for pedestrians. The "Ilitch corner" is about the only area I feel safe at all.
