Big thank you to Scott On Tape for showing me some great spots around Detroit. He really went the extra 8 mile to knock this day out of the park. Check out his channel !

[@joshgranger78]

Love Detroit but if you have time drive up 75 north to Frankenmuth you will absolutely love that little town.

[@mikeostrow7051]

Always know it's gonna be a great video when you partner up with Scott on Tape. You two bounce off each other so well, and it really shows. Never a dull moment with this duo!

[@neilrunyon3787]

You need to come to Michigan more often. Just saying. You can easily tell you’ve never been here. Lol.

[@neilrunyon3787]

This was awesome to watch. Been trying for 7 years to get him to MI. Bummed he wouldn’t do a meet up. Glad he had a fellow UA-camr to show him around. IT’s Hollywood and Hollywood, youtube and UA-cam. The rest of us just support them to continue doing their dreams …. And sometimes ours.
Enjoy, hope you come back another time. Still lots to see, and lots to do. Michigan always gets the Passover. So hopefully you’ll come back.

Detroit local here. The sirens are tested the first Saturday of every month at 1pm. This is just the regular testing. No threat of tornado or severe weather.

@@vernwallen4246, no.
That being said, I would never go to that neighborhood. It’s too unpredictable. You don’t know who will run up on you. I live here so I know the areas to avoid. I would also avoid the Oakland Avenue corridor. Very desolate and seedy overall.

[@DJMetzler337]

@@jpassosengenhariadecomputa8039, northern Warren has its good pockets and bad. I would stay away from the south end for now(south of 696). It’s not all that bad. We are going to have a new mayor in November who should be able to make things even better.

My boys and I where just in Michigan this past weekend visiting my grandparents old home. They lived on 10 mile and Hoover. I hadn’t been to Michigan since 1999, wanted to show the kids. We took lots of pictures and videos. We live in Kentucky. We went to Summerslam at Ford Field, St. Clair Lake, ate at Hungry Howies, Tubby’s, drove up to Frankenmuth, and the Detroit Zoo. By the way, we heard the 1pm alarm too when we were out by the lake, lol!

[@ianwelch622]

I was just in Detroit for WWE Summerslam yesterday. I only had the day to really explore and see things, but It truly is a beautiful city, and I plan on going back soon. Hockey season is right around the corner after all

[@FrankaiVideos-DetroitsComeback]

There's so much going on in Detroit these days! Videos are finally starting to depict it's comeback

[@Sparty-pi3jq]

In some spots of the city, nature has completely taken over and you feel like you are miles from anything. It's nice to see people that care and that take pride in the city nowadays. I grew up in Detroit until moved to the burbs as a senior in high school, I couldn't/wouldnt raise my kids in the city, after my experiences growing up unfortunately, but I still love the city. Great video as usual Adam

Its so sad to see so many vacant lots where homes once stood. The families in those homes once were in a town that was thriving.

Kudos to Detroit for demolishing over 60,000 blighted houses in the last few years!

One correction for Scott though, Henry Ford didn't invent the assembly line, but he DID invent the MOVING assembly line.

[@youradventurecompass]

👉 Just so you know, no one in Michigan calls it Belle Island. It's Belle Isle. Smalls is a goth industrial spot with bands playing there from time to time. As you mentioned, it's a great spot to get robbed. I also know someone in a band who got mugged there. One thing about Hamtramck, there's a bar on every other corner, even in the middle of residential neighborhoods. Glad you got to see the Packard plant. I went to a few Raves there back in the 90s. My band took photos inside the abandoned train station (1999) and it is amazing that they have been able to restore it. I really didn't think it could be saved. BTW, part of Transformers 3 was shot at the train station. You were right in Mexicantown. I hope you got to see it. So many amazing places to eat there. Lots more to see in Michigan outside of Detroit too. Hope you get the chance to venture out to other areas and if not, get in touch when you come back this way and I'll be happy to give you a tour. 👍

[@Jackie_Who]

When I was a child, I lived on the Southfield side of 8 Mile. My mom worked on the Detroit side and we actually walked across 8 Mile to see her at work. Don't try that these days!!!

[@SlammedZero]

I spent some time around Detroit a few years back. Sure, there are absolutely some dilapidated areas, but this city does have some good bones. I know they've been concentrating on cleaning up and recovering areas of the city, and I wish them the best luck, as the city sits in a geographic beautiful area.

[@CaptainBuckeye]

Democrats won’t let that happen

[@fixpacifica]

@@CaptainBuckeye Yeah, rural Alabama and Mississippi are such thriving places.

[@peter13912]

@@CaptainBuckeye, that’s about the most ignorant comment I’ve seen in some time. The history of Detroit is as much about segregation as the Deep South, but things have definitely turned a corner. The only difference between Detroit and rural Ohio is the shade of the people that live there. All the problems are still the same.

Love the older homes there!! Even old parts of town!! Awesome where the Supremes practiced, and think back to remember our world back then,and how that area looked!! Dick and the
American Bandstand!! All the Motown entertainers, and other rock and roll entertainers, when I was a teenager, born 1945! My friend is 85yo,she lived there in Detroit with her single mother, and tells of walking to and from school,to church, their upstairs apartment. Then her mother married a German man, and they moved onto an island and lived. Looks like an amazing place, and see Canada 😮!

Aretha’s sister Erma was a great singer bin her own right so it was good to see her memorial even if you merely passed it by.

[@denisemarie426]

The siren goes off in Michigan the first Saturday of the month for checks at 1 pm. Hamtramck was a Polish city from the early 1900's to around the late 1970's. Banksy did an art project in the Ford plant but it was stolen shortly after. BTW we sold Jack White the Frank Wilson test pressing back in 2018 and he repressed it for RSD, we had a few sit down to discuss the 5 figure price with him.

The first Saturday every month Detroit checks their military system at 1pm. If we hear this outside siren anytime other than this one time, we're to call the police or TV stations. Weird huh?
and you were on Belle Isle and that's the Giant Slide which is still in use, memories for generations with that slide.

My little town in Southern California sounds its old WWII air raid siren at 11:30 each Wednesday. So I guess it isn't alone. 😊

I did a day trip to Detroit from Chicagoland to visit Motown and other places. Detroit Sound Studio was open then and the road leading to the train station was accessible. Kind of wish and visited more of the downtown area but had to squeeze some time in for a visit to downtown Ann Arbor.

[@FrankaiVideos-DetroitsComeback]

Agreed. There's way more to see than a day's worth!

[@Only1Science]

Greetings! I am the last engineer before United Sound closed in June of 2020. A lot of great talents came out of that building from the time it was built all the way up to us leaving. This is where Berry's artists were recording before Tamla Records became Motown.

Very enjoyable 😊

[@stevenbandli]

Great video of Detroit Adam! I really enjoyed your trip to the Gran Torino homes. In 2014 the home that Eastwood lived in in the movie went up for sale. It was on the news. They had an open house, so me and a friend of mine showed up. At that time of day we were the only two people there besides the sales agent. We combed every bit of that home inside and out and took a ton of pictures. It was surreal to have that home to myself for over an hour. I'm glad you enjoyed your time in Michigan.

[@flocosta]

What a wonderful video! I couldn't stop watching.! I loved the Disney alley. How clever and unique. I'm surprised there aren't more tourists walking around back there admiring it with you. So cool. The Motown mansion, just WOW!! Maybe the owner will invite you guys in one day so we could see the pool house up close. It was beautiful to see the final resting places of Aretha Franklin and her family. I hope we don't see the great Dinah Ross there anytime soon. And God bless Rosa Parks for taking a stand that turned this country around. Detroit is an incredible city with so much history, they should all be proud. This video was so enjoyable, it just made my day! Adam, you and Scott make a great team. A job well done! Thank you to the best UA-camrs in the business!
