Kalamazoo here.. nice video but no mention of the ethnic foods like Asian and Arab restaurants, etc. also very important if we moved to that city .. Anyhow, We often go to Detroit to several of those neighborhoods to eat Asian food. Usually it’s a group of us. For instance, we go to an Asian restaurant near Detroit Shinola that sells Asian breakfast called Dimsum. We also go to a rather nice Vietnamese restaurant just a block or so from the Little Caesars. Have you tried any Asian restaurants in the neighborhoods that you mentioned and if so, any to recommend? Do a segment on the new upcoming Asian town that Detroit has approved to bring back alive. Years ago, Chinatown was removed to make way for the highway. Now there is a consensus by the residents, including Asian groups who relocated to the suburbs, to bring it back to life in downtown Detroit. The city also had contributed $$ toward it. I saw the master plan too.
On the next vid please give a nod to Midtown Detroit Inc. and Develop Detroit. Both Orgs were at the forefront of the events, deveplopment, and maintenance, we see now. MDI owns/owned a lot of the land, parks, and properties in Midtown. Also please give a mention to Barcade, Gus's World Famous, Awake Cafe, Detroit Eatery, and more.
Went to Detroit summer of 23 and it was definitely on a huge up swing. Old white dude and was treated very well. Went to a tigers game and smoked cigars at Las Casa? Cigar shop downtown had a great time. Keep up the good work Detroit!
I am 70 years old - live in the suburbs. The city is so exciting, Midtown is right up my style. Love , Love, Love our new city. I go every opportunity I can get.
Love Midtown, so much to do , great diversity in neighborhoods ,accessible to just so many things. Not cheap by any means anymore, but a very enjoyable lifestyle for most.
It would be nice to see a good outline of the area on a map. Not being from the area there is no way to visualize the boundaries you call out. Also, calling the buildings by abbreviations (LCA) isn’t helpful either. If you are already from the area I am sure you know, but it seems that you are highlighting an area for people not familiar with the area who will have to try and look up what buildings you are referencing. Looks like a cool area though.
I remember the urban blight when traveling down Woodward in the 80s and 90s. There were burned out buildings, empty lots, boarded up windows, overgrown lots. Looks much better now.
Don't share our secret! Just bought a Condo in midtown that anywhere else would've been 3X more based on location alone, but it's like people don't see it. Midtown's energy is unmatched, You yourself miss a gem location in midtown and I'm glad lol & the fact the midtown butts up against North End & NCA, Boston Edison etc.
Not sure if you mentioned but you gotta speak on cultural events like Dally in the Alley, Noel Night, Detroit Film Festival, Festival of Colors (Don Was), that wierd Day of the Dead like parade, America's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Very polished wood grained interior with glass pane window front. It felt like it was always crowded in a tight space but lively. A diverse crowd (meaning black and white, young and old, not much else or like Toronto). I remember a lot of Sunday meals there and a diverse food menu. It felt like an old family restaurant that was well kept. @TRULIVINGMICHIGAN
I live downriver, but the Whitney was one of my favorites when I was working. Many dates there, all good memories. Thanks for this walk down memory lane.
Wow. Fifty years ago Cass Corridor was home to the poor, the downtrodden, and Wayne State U students renting cheap rentals. Canfield, Seldon, Prentis, Willis were all slum neighborhoods. What a change has happened.
They would not be advertising if it wasn’t expensive. That’a how realtors make money. They sell and tax the same homes over and over and over. Just stay put.
So, the neighborhoods that held Detroit together for decades get no money, while whole new neighborhoods are created where no one lived (Corktown, Cass Corridor, Brush Park). Yeah, that makes sense. Let's put the most investment in the areas that produced the least taxes and used the most city services. Brilliant!
I lived in Grandmont Rosedale neighborhoods and we got investments most likely because of us organizing and establishing a non prof neighborhood org to attract business development and residents there. Sue Mosely did that for midtown where I used to live too. Your urban city center is supposed to be the main vibrant attraction of the town. It's like that in every thriving city that you travel to. Manhattan NYC was a declining sh*t hole in the 70s before leaders took urban renewal initiatives there. Tax paying higher income residents which end up being a plus for you in terms of tax revenue don't desire to move to areas like Mack & Beawick that are ridden with crime and spiraling downwards. You either mobilize or continue to sulk in misery.
@@blankpaper1 So, let's blame the man on Bewick & Mack and not Mike Duggan who took city resources and spent them on areas where people never lived. The difference between Manhattan and Detroit is that Detroit has no subway and no integrated mass transit. In fact, Detroit has one of the worst spending on mass transit in the country. Instead of fixing the services to support the existing population, Duggan and Dan Gilbert spent it on luxury property instead of the meat and potatoes services that make a city work. Nothing but showcasing and window dressing. Meanwhile, the population that makes Detroit work got little to nothing. And, the result is a very dysfunctional city that can't keep the Renaissance Center.
And real native Detroiters are still paying. This growth was started with tax incentives that are still in effect. The peoples tax dollars did not go to their own neighborhoods.

Many many acronyms. Who is your channel audience? Seems like it's only ppl already familiar with the places you talk about. They may understand the acronyms. Everyone else is left in the dark. Can research them myself. Understand as realtors you want to be positive. Noticed there was no blight shown, even at a distance. Driving North on Jefferson toward the suburbs, you can clrly see when you have left Detroit. It's got a long way to go.
@@TRULIVINGMICHIGANNo you weren't. Not raised anywhere west of Alter. east of Telegraph or south of 8 mile. Stop frontin. It's Deh-troit. You suburban and new Detroiters say Dee troit.
You’re from Saint Clair shores…instead of colonizing a place you know nothing about you should’ve stayed your goofy ah over there and made your hometown better.
You mean like these few places? Sherwood Forest, Palmer Woods, Bagley, Green Acres, University District, Boston Edison, Indian Village, East Village, Canfield/Woodbridge, Rosedale Park, Corktown, Brush Park....I can add more if you would like
@@hieptruong5222 You bragging about Rochester Hills? 😂 What, Are you too broke to raise your family in Bloomfield Hills or Grosse Pointe? LOL! I'm sure the homes of the Sherwood Forest "hoods" would put your pre assembled cookie cutter home to shame in um Rochester Hills 😂😂
@@hieptruong5222Dude shits old now. Stop the BS. How is Sheerwood Forest and Indian Village the fkn hood? Hell, Michigan, in general, is not doing well tbh. Hell, they have people like you here in Chiraq scared of the city 😂
You know what would be really most important is if you told us the perimeter, the roads that Corktown include. Want to start with the names of the roads instead of everything else tell us where you’re at we don’t care what the name of the neighborhood is. We wanna know what the name of the streets are
Oh please...Its just your threshold of fear is extremely extremely low...like the thought of wearing white after labor day will put you in a petrified state of shock..Midtown is quite nice and thriving.

That's awesome to hear! It's a pretty special time to witness all of the growth first hand and be part of history in the making.
The housing prices is off the charts and unbelievable. This is a good video. I want to know more about Detroit.
Check out the Detroit series!
Been in Midtown for 17 years.Moved from Shelby township. Never a problem ❤
7:22 Correction City Bird is a Detroit gift and oddities shop not a restaurant.
Glad to see Detroit coming around! Architectural history is interesting, & restaurants look good 👏
Love Midtown, so much to do , great diversity in neighborhoods ,accessible to just so many things. Not cheap by any means anymore, but a very enjoyable lifestyle for most.
That’s for sharing!!

I miss living in Midtown so much. I can no longer afford to live there. Now I live in a basic ass urban neighborhood. I'm bored to tears.
@@ericking8661 it has become very expensive.

The OG was Union Street which sickens me that it is closed and is supposed to be redeveloped as condos, great.
What was Union Street like?

In its day, Third Street Saloon was way more popular than Hopcat ever was. Times are always changing.
That they are
Third Street Saloon was that spot back in the day!
I moved to Detroit in 1987. My 1st apartment was in West Village. We had a liquor store and a pizza place. Check it out now.
Nice, I’ll add it to the list.
Wow. Fifty years ago Cass Corridor was home to the poor, the downtrodden, and Wayne State U students renting cheap

Big changes
That building at the 1:28 mark has been there for well over a decade
👍
I own 3 duplex lots in Woodbridge. I'm looking to develop in the next 24mths.
Very cool. Shoot me more info on the developments. I'd love to feature them if that made sense.
La Palma on John R is one of the best restaurants in Midtown.
They would not be advertising if it wasn’t expensive. That’a how realtors make money. They sell and tax the same homes over and over and over. Just stay put.

You need to do your research! Very lost in bad descriptions! Get to really know midtown if your going to put. Ideas out
How bout using words instead of letters for describing where things are????DIA, MCL, DMC???what the heck???
My thought, too when I heard the acronyms being spoken. Non-Detroiters don’t know what the acronyms stand for.
It’s not Dee-troit 🙌
I noticed that too. Really irritating.
❤❤
You are cute....
Go to Eastlawn Street & Chalmers....
Bring A LOT of your friends to protect you & your camera crew.
Expensive.

It can be, really depends on the place. There are some more affordable places too.
It's "Deh-troit", not "Deee-troit".
I say Deee-troit. Born and raised here too 😉
@@TRULIVINGMICHIGANNo you weren't. Not raised anywhere west of Alter. east of Telegraph or south of 8 mile. Stop frontin. It's Deh-troit. You suburban and new Detroiters say Dee troit.
