I am originally from the suburbs of Detroit, and was there
August of 2009 visiting family and friends.
It appears the video shows a number of the areas that are
in bad shape-and there are many.
However, there are many decent areas within proper Detroit,
and many very nice areas in the surrounding suburbs or cities.
Detroit has had it's share of challenges and problems, and has
been particularly hard hit with the downturn of the economy
and auto industry. Like many places, people are hurting.
But, it has not yet degenerated into the apocalyptic wasteland
that some people might like to think.
Sorry to disappoint!
