Thanks for this great video. I'm a homeowner in West Dearborn (I previously rented in Plymouth & Ann Arbor before buying here), and this is one of the most accurate representations of this town I've ever seen. People should ignore the FUD and demonizing of Dearborn and come here and see things for themselves - my wife & I are of white European ancestry, non-religious, middle-class, both of us think this is a really nice little city with many pros. Unlike almost all of the rest of metro-Detroit, Dearborn has REAL cultural diversity, and beyond that, decent and charitable citizens, good paying, high quality jobs that are easy to come by, the best museum in Michigan, and many neighborhoods that are highly walkable - sidewalks are everywhere, and the town is generally densely populated in residential areas with a minimal amount of the much-hated sprawl so many modern suburbs suffer from. With that, everything I need is close-by (ex: if I want, I can quickly and easily walk to a grocery store, a bakery, my dentist, a post office, UPS, FedEx, 3 of my doctors, numerous restaurants, a hardware store, little parks and more). Also never mentioned enough: Dearborn city services are super-impressive. Police (the town has an impressive 200+ officers) have an amazing 5 minute average response time to 911 calls (when I had to call over a senior that had a bike accident, police arrived in 2.5 minutes, and EMS right after that - can your town do better?), $1 SmartFlex car rides for all residents, broken sewer pipes on YOUR property are almost entirely covered by the city right, free community college, 3 great libraries, leaf-vacuuming (as in just dump tarps of your fall leaves right in the street in front of your house and the city removes them - so many cities have stopped this or never offered it), and sweeping, free tree trimming on road strips, the best snow-plowing/removal of any city in metro-Detroit, tons of free services for seniors and others, and more. Next, Dearborn is one of the top 3 fastest-growing cities in southeastern MI according to the 2020 US census (all other in-between years are only estimates and often wrong!), my house is worth 110% more today than 6 years ago and as of this moment sits within the top 10% "hottest" housing markets by zip code, according to Redfin. Lastly, it cannot be said enough - the food here is unbeatable - nothing else in America comes close for Middle Eastern food (and I've eaten everywhere from major east coast cities to New Orleans to Los Angeles). The restaurants and local markets are flat-out amazing, and many of the people that run them are great (example: if you can't like someone with as big and warm of a personality as Sam at Sahara restaurant, there's something wrong with you...the guy is practically a national treasure). The biggest cons I've experienced here are the following: first, there are a number of young male drivers here that seriously need to go back to driving school (this seems to have become worse since COVID-19...fools running red lights, stop signs, speeding and so on). Next, as mentioned in this video, the city needs to move faster and more aggressively in filling its handful of empty "problem" buildings (mainly back tax issues) and demolishing the Village Plaza Tower. The east end of town does have some spots where crime occasionally drifts over from bad areas of Detroit (thankfully, Dearborn police are usually on top of it). Next, young people need to be better educated on picking up after themselves (Plymouth & Ann Arbor were/are far far better at this). Lastly, the city needs to push for more public events, as the town is a bit too sleepy at times when compared to the more event-rich cities of Detroit, Ferndale, Royal Oak, and Ann Arbor. In summary, Dearborn is a nice, unique small city that has real cultural diversity, things to do, great food, and charming neighborhoods, with relatively minor problems. There's really not much to complain about, and it's a fine place to call home.
After being out west and returning, one thing I'll never take for granted about Michigan is all the trees. I never thought I could miss trees, but here we are.
@@ChrisHarden It is. It's beautiful. But I really missed green things after a few months lol, I was really glad to be back home in MIchigan and have a new found appreciation for it. Great vid btw, I live in Taylor off Goddard lol
Great video!! My maternal grandfather was born in Dearborn in 1898 and met Henry Ford on a few occasions. I grew up nearby, on the outskirts of Detroit. My family lived in the Warrendale community from 1975-1979 (I was 4.) Ford & Evergreen. Then we moved to Auburn Street near West Chicago. You drove by my childhood home in one of your Detroit videos. I literally grew up at Fairlane Mall & Greenfield Village. I moved out of the area for 30 years and moved back almost 2 years ago. I'm one of those people who has a membership at THF just to walk the village! I love the village so much! I have many great childhood memories there!! Dearborn is a great place to be, although Michigan Ave is scary to drive sometimes! Thanks for another great video! I don't think I had so much appreciation for the history here until I moved back to the area. Your videos inspired me to drive past my childhood home, check out downtown Detroit, and visit Fairlane Mall earlier this year. I love Hines drive! I have many great memories there also!!
My wife has 3 relatives that worked for the Blue Oval in Dearborn. No issues. When I was younger, I used go to The HF and Greenfield Village several times a year. I also shopped in downtown east Dearborn
There's too 2 parts of Dearborn, the East which is turned into a mini Detroit. And the West where the People with Money are at big difference. You could Definitely tell the difference.
I live in Plymouth, about a 20 minute drive west of Dearborn, and Dearborn's always one of the first places I mention to check out when someone is visiting the area. It's an absolute gem between all the history, extremely unique culture, amazing food, etc.
Agreed cause Plymouth has very little to offer in comparsion. I hate Plymouth. Not that I have room to talk cause I lived right south of it in Canton which is even worse.
Great video; my family originally settled in Dearborn in the 1930s, and we’ve been here since. We previously owned a home just outside the Ford Historic District and recently moved to Dearborn Hills. Dearborn is a great city with a history unlike any other, and is a unique, diverse community with a ton to offer. Incredible, vibrant food scene and a ton of unique cultural attractions like the Henry Ford, Greenfield Village, and the Arab-American National Museum. I couldn’t imagine living elsewhere. It’s interesting that you mention free parking as a perk of downtown West Dearborn and subsequently talk about how Dearborn struggled with vacancy around 2014-2015; Dearborn had actually started paid parking in the late 2000s and the city seemed to suffer greatly for a number of years until paid parking was revoked.
Dearborn looks like an interesting and nice place to live. What Ford has done for Dearborn is in sharp contrast with what GM did to Flint. That and Ford rebuilt Michigan Central Railroad Station. One of many reasons I don't like GM.
OMG Chris!!!!! This was an EXCEPTIONAL video! WOW, WOW, WOW.......I knew Dearborn was cool and heard that so many people said that is wasn't such a good city but this video makes it even better. This is an awsome city and so much to learn about. I intend to go see in the next six months. These videos are getting better and better, I love it! Thank you!!!!!!!
Wow, Chris. This is the best video you've ever done. I know it helped that you had a lot to talk about, but I really appreciate the work you put into this one. Good job.
For me Henry Ford is more like Elon Musk and not bill gates or jeff bezos. Chris, how much is left of the Willow Run Bomber Plant? Ford did hire African Americans. From a online source: "Ford would come to view Black employees as the ideal workforce. Black residents needed jobs; they had no interest in unions because white unions had excluded them, so in the 1920s, Ford began to hire Black workers in large numbers." But you're right about him not being fond of Jewish people. Another great watch from Chris.
Dearborn is awesome! I spent a lot of time on the Westside of Dearborn off Michigan Avenue due to college. Great restaurants on that strip over there near Ford's Garage. Free parking too!
You really knocked it out of the park Chris!!! It is all here and illustrated with carefully crafted and placed multimedia features. From drone to historical photos and superb on the road video with in depth past and current historical narration this is about so much more than Dearborn. The entertaining and unique Chris Harden approach says succintly what works and what doesn't in society in general and America in particular. Urban planners, humanities departments, politicians and for any with a curious mind who want to know this is your place.
Right. I don’t understand the bad rep. I mean I do… but I think it’s extremely ignorant of people to have such assumptions without seeing it for themselves.
Just compare East Dearborn in the 80’s and 90’s to what it is now. Or even Ford road just 10-15 years ago. You’d see the “bad rap” of the “Arabs” but tbh, we “Arabs” not only buy old outdated homes way over priced, and turn them into modern expensive homes and also invest in our community by supporting local private businesses. This makes Dearborn better than almost every single city touching Detroit other than Gross Pointe but one of the cities has an amazing river front view lol. So the bad rap is really a blessing in disguise.
35:50 You cut away just as you were entering the Southend neighborhood. That far southeast corner of Dearborn has an interesting history of it's own. Also, I'd suggest exploring Ypsilanti sometime in the future. Awesome video, keep up the great work!
Great work on this, thanks. My only experience with Dearborn is about 6 years ago going to the U of M campus there for software engineering Masters classes but that only lasted about a year lol.
I'd read at one point that Village Plaza Tower is supposedly owned by someone over in Macomb or Oakland county (I forget which), who is notorious for not lifting a finger to fix or improve his dilapidated properties. Does anyone know if the tearing down of this building is currently in court? - I'd be curious to hear about how this is progressing.
Chris thanks for the great honest review of Dearborn, I live near Downtown Dearborn and could not live anywhere else. This city is booming with development and with a demographic of Arab American entrepreneurs who constantly re-invent the city with development it always feels fresh. Not to forget we have a great ambitious Mayor Hammoud who truly cares about the city.
Dearborn is an expensive place to live and they have one of the best funded police departments in America. There's are some new construction homes that have a $17,000 a year tax bill. I knew of a guy who ran a body shop and he built a two million dollar house there. Hannibal Smith from The A-Team, AKA George Peppard grew up in Dearborn and he's buried in a cemetery there. Municipal Codes are enforced and Dearborn has clean neighborhoods. I remember watching the regent court building being demolished around March of 2024.
Great video Chris! I grew up in Dearborn Heights and my father worked for Ford for over 30 years so Ford and the Dearborn area mean a lot to our family 💗 any chance you may be willing to do a video about the city of Wayne? I have lived in Wayne for 6 years now and I think it is a great little spot that has a bigger and positive future ahead. I know it is small, but there is Westland and Inkster near by as well so that would be a really cool video to see 😊 thanks again for the great work and looking forward to the next one!
Hey Chris: I enjoyed the video but I was also disappointed. One of the things that you normally do that sets you apart is how you go on several side streets. It gives a much better feel of the city. For a large chunk of this video, you were on Michigan Avenue between Oakwood and Outer Drive. I feel Dearborn probably deserved at least 2 main channel videos. Looking forward to the unused footage on your other channel.
Hey Chris, I lived in East Dearborn the first 21 years of my life. My family even owned a business on Schaefer Road. I am a graduate of Fordson High School. Dearborn was a great community to grow up in during the 50's and 60' s. I have one comment that I believe you were incorrect on. I don't believe that Dearborn was ever Dearborn Twp. I think the first name was Spring wells. Dearborn Twp. became Dearborn Hgts. somewhere in the late 50's or early 60's. Thanks for doing this. I will look for your extended version.
There was indeed a Dearborn Township. Most of the city of Dearborn today was what used to be Dearborn Township. Only a small part of Dearborn was Springwells Twp, and Henry Ford happened to grow up on a farm in the portion of Dearborn that used to be Springwells.
@@ChrisHarden I still disagree, . Yes there was a Dearborn Hgts, but it had nothing to do with the City of Dearborn. but I love what you do and thank you for it. If you give me a source, I will respectfully say I was wrong.
There's Dearborn and there's Dearborn Heights. If you don't know that, you have no business saying anything. Dearborn is safe. The business is brisk, and you can find people walking in Dearborn at all times. The Muslim population is friendly, hard-working, and honest.
Looks like Dearborn has good vibes and alot happening there. Interesting to hear Carhartt company is there. I never knew that. I really need to take a drive there and visit some of those museums. Thanks for the video! When you come back through Illinois you have to do a video in Skokie. It's Dearborn's cousin. Lots of diverse people, tons of activities and restaurants and many old companies-Searle, Rand McNally just to name a few.
Love your videos and learning about the history of all the different cities. Just wondering why you seem to neglect SW MI. No Kalamazoo with the history of Checker Cab and Gibson and the first pedestrian mall in America? No Battle Creek with Kellogg and Post? Not even Grand Rapids, the 2nd largest city in the state? Seems like you've covered huge parts of the rest of the state even going into the UP but just skip right on past us along 94 :P. We're literally the halfway point between Detroit and Chicago (131 was the territory border between the mobs of Chicago and Detroit) please come visit! 😁
Because I’m a West Michigan hater. Jk. Just haven’t gotten to it yet. There’s loads and loads of content to be had for my channel out there. Plenty of years worth.
There’s a place in Illinois called Oak Park right on Harlem Avenue near Lake Street and they converted what was the street It didn’t turn out very well. All the stores that were furthest from Harlem Avenue, which is the main street one out of business because no one wanted to walk two blocks to get to the outside mall so years later after spending millions of dollars to convert it to they had to convert it back to the street.
Be aware, the census numbers for anything not "on the decade" (1990/2000/2010/2020) are mere estimates/predictions, not actual counts. For some reason, the census virtually always predicts Dearborn to be losing people, and did so right up to 2020....their estimates predicted loss every year after a hard count of 97,850 in 2010 to a final estimate of 93,000 people before 2020....until they actually counted the population in 2020, and learned the population had jumped to 109,976, which firmly placed Dearborn in the top 3 fastest growing cities in metro-Detroit. My bet is they are wrong again, as there are basically no vacancies for homes in this city, and Dearborn is currently ranked as being in the top 10% of hottest housing markets in the US, according to Redfin (houses go from first listing to pending sale in 4-8 days and 1-6% above asking price)....that doesn't fit population loss.
I'm not sure what kinda of click bait video this is but I live in Detroit bordering Dearborn ford is in a rebuilding period outside of that Dearborn is just fine
Most of the suburbs cities are nice there was a few problem areas and everybody knows them I live on the North side of Detroit which is the nicest part
I've lived ONE block north of Dearborn since 1971!! Dearborn WAS a bastion of racism at one point,but since the Arabics settled-in in the late seventies,things have improved on that front. dearborn has the famous Ford/Rouge Complex and quaint Greenfield Village. West Dearborn= Anglo Saxon while East Dearborn= Arabic. 😮
I live next too Dearborn. The city has always been nice,clean and well run. The haters only talking point is they think its dirty because Arabic people call it home. Unfounded Racist nonsense. Ford Field Park was a favorite of my parents and the Dearborn Library is a sight too behold. It used too have a Water fountain that was World renowned and use too have a colored light display every night. Dearborn is how too do things right among all the cities doing things wrong.
I'm constantly correcting people from outside of Michigan who mistakenly think that Dearborn is a dangerous place, or that it's subject to Sharia law, because of that type of misinformation online. In reality it's a very nice suburb, and has bars and other things that clearly would not be allowed in a theocracy. I'm going to start referring to this video as well when people spout nonsense about Dearborn . Let them watch for themselves that it's just a regular place.
@@TakenTook There is No Sharia Law in Dearborn or Michigan in general. That's Racist nonsence. They practice their religion which for reference is What The United States was founded on. Freedom of Religion of choice and Freedom from a Religion being forced on society. Dearborn has impressive walking and recreation area's its a rather large Burb of Detroit. Clean, Safe many shopping and tourism options but can get very busy with Automobile traffic at Certain hours. For the record I have ridden my bike and spent All day just enjoying the ride and the many nice nooks and crannies within the City. The Henry Ford Mansion and the Ford Field Park behind it off Michigan Alone is a Days adventure of World Class sights.
@@ricdale7813 -- That is exactly what I said!! You have misinterpreted my comment. Go back and read it again. I am constantly CORRECTING people from having those misconceptions. I've lived and worked in this area my entire life, and I have many professional colleagues and neighbors of Middle Eastern ancestry -- most of them Chaldean, Syrian and Lebanese Catholics, but also many Muslims. They are good people.
Dearborn is Dearborn. It's quite different than what most people are used to as well as quite different from what people think it is. Im a car guy and 55 years old and my whole life ive spent kicking around this area. Im quite sure i know the place way better than this Nick feller but whatever
Good food, lots of Arabs. Women wearing hijab and chador. Signs in Arabic. Some secondary auto manufacturing businesses. I saw nothing wrong with it either, and drove my semi there many times.
I’ve been to Dearborn and Dearborn Heights plenty of times in the past 20 years. I just don’t like it. I find it sketchy, but it doesn’t have the blight of Detroit and Highland Park. I don’t enjoy spending time in the urbanized inner-ring suburbs of Detroit. They remind me of Aurora, Colorado.
Great video, however, you forgot to mention the fact that the city hall everything is written in Arabic with English being the second language. Oakwood Hospital now Corwell Health used to be the best hospital in southeastern Michigan, now it feels like a 3rd word country. 80% of the staff is Arabic and they have very limited English. YES, I HAVE SEEN ISIS FLAGS FLYING in that city. oh, I forgot to say I was born and raised there. If you walk your dog on the city sidewalk the Arabic will screem at you and call you names, they also tell you to get out of their city. Real Michiganders stay far away from Dearborn and Oakwood Hospital. It is not a nice city, you just spent a day or so, be there every day... NO THANK YOU!!
What a load of bs. I'm of 100% white European ancestry, previously lived in Plymouth (Ann Arbor before that), and have lived and continue to live in West Dearborn (SODA) right now. I know for a fact that City Hall signs and forms are primary written in English and secondarily in Arabic, which is entirely designed to help others who are still working on English. Only in small minds like yours is that a bad thing - I bet you hate seeing anything in Spanish as well. Tough luck buddy, as America is and always has been a melting pot. Next, name exactly where these Isis flags are - I'll drive to them right now and photograph the address to prove if it's true or not. Now it's true that you can always find a small number of people that have said crazy things at one point or another, but virtually every city has 30 or 40 crazies at minimum, and the vast majority of people here are just fine, very much love this country (if you truly lived here, there is no way you could have missed Dearborn Arab immigrants saying this is the best country in the world - they clearly say it more than people that look like me), and just want to live their lives in peace and support their families. As for Corewell health, though many of its workers are of middle eastern ancestry, it is not 80%, and beyond that, I'm struggling to understand what exactly you are having a baby fit over - it sounds like you are saying you are angry that someone of middle eastern ancestry is allowed to earn a degree and be a doctor or a nurse (and in a town with a large (55%) middle eastern descent population)? Well, that's your problem. You should be proud that your neighbors earned a degree. Next, you are wildly exaggerating again when you say they can "barely speak English". Though some have may have an accent, I can name various Cardiologists, Electrophysiologists and RNs that work there and are of middle eastern backgrounds and show you videos of them speaking English just fine - can you prove your claim at all? Lastly, the vast majority of my neighborhood own dogs and walk them on the sidewalk every day, with no problems. Again, I can take pictures or videos if you want, though I'm sure you will just claim that to be "fake news". Nobody in my neighborhood complains at all about people walking dogs, unless the owner refuses to leash the dog and it attacks the pets of others, or allows the dog to poop in others' yards and doesn't pick it up, or pee on their expensive landscaped flowers and the like, wrecking them - from your entitled attitude, it sounds like you might be that type. People here are fine, and it's a nice city overall. Is it as nice as the very best places in Michigan, such as Ann Arbor? - nah, as it can be a quiet bedroom community at times, needs to push for far more public events and establish more green spaces (the pool obsession is outdated and overdone), needs to do more about the lousy drivers, and and needs to fill buildings like the old Kroger/Farmer Jack on Michigan Ave. But it's still a one-of-a-kind unique, interesting place in America, is doing great at growth (within the last 4 years, it's been ranked anywhere from 1st to within the top 3 fastest growing cities in metro-Detroit), is doing great with home values (top 10% hottest of every housing market in the US according to Redfin - my house alone has risen 110% in value in 6 years), has almost all you need fairly close-by, has surprisingly great city services, and is very well-policed (200+ very-well supported police officers and an average response time of 5 minutes - exceedingly rare in America for any suburb). Finally, if you want to experience REAL cultural diversity (not the bougie pseudo-culture fakery in so much of Oakland county/Western Wayne county and the like), the best museum in the state, and the best middle eastern food in America, Dearborn is miles above everything else in Michigan. You might hate that, but others of us rather enjoy it.
The fact that these people think they can take American land and be this way shows how much our society is crumbling. In Denver, I see Venezuelan flags everywhere.
You also have Mich Ave Dearborn and Warren Ave Dearborn. Y'all forgot to even really point that out. There are places in Dearborn which are gated communities and you have blocks of Dearborn where throwing a rock can hit some dude in the hood and be staged for a bloody fight.
I wonder how much they paid you to say this? 60% abandoned homes, 40% illiteracy, 75% unemployment and with and average annual income of $18k. How long before you remove this comment?
Thought this was going to be some right wing propaganda. It is a cool city. I am about 4 miles to the west on Michigan Ave and very much wish I could live there

Also never mentioned enough: Dearborn city services are super-impressive. Police (the town has an impressive 200+ officers) have an amazing 5 minute average response time to 911 calls (when I had to call over a senior that had a bike accident, police arrived in 2.5 minutes, and EMS right after that - can your town do better?), $1 SmartFlex car rides for all residents, broken sewer pipes on YOUR property are almost entirely covered by the city right, free community college, 3 great libraries, leaf-vacuuming (as in just dump tarps of your fall leaves right in the street in front of your house and the city removes them - so many cities have stopped this or never offered it), and sweeping, free tree trimming on road strips, the best snow-plowing/removal of any city in metro-Detroit, tons of free services for seniors and others, and more.
Next, Dearborn is one of the top 3 fastest-growing cities in southeastern MI according to the 2020 US census (all other in-between years are only estimates and often wrong!), my house is worth 110% more today than 6 years ago and as of this moment sits within the top 10% "hottest" housing markets by zip code, according to Redfin.

The biggest cons I've experienced here are the following: first, there are a number of young male drivers here that seriously need to go back to driving school (this seems to have become worse since COVID-19...fools running red lights, stop signs, speeding and so on).

I feel like metro-Detroit is pretty "culturally diverse" or at least down here south of Dearborn where all us poor folks live :P
Agree that driving through Dearborn is the biggest detriment.
After being out west and returning, one thing I'll never take for granted about Michigan is all the trees. I never thought I could miss trees, but here we are.
And as someone who lives in Michigan, I always feel like traveling out west and seeing the vast openness is quite scenic itself.
@@ChrisHarden It is. It's beautiful. But I really missed green things after a few months lol, I was really glad to be back home in MIchigan and have a new found appreciation for it. Great vid btw, I live in Taylor off Goddard lol
Great video!! My maternal grandfather was born in Dearborn in 1898 and met Henry Ford on a few occasions. I grew up nearby, on the outskirts of Detroit. My family lived in the Warrendale community from 1975-1979 (I was 4.) Ford & Evergreen. Then we moved to Auburn Street near West Chicago. You drove by my childhood home in one of your Detroit videos. I literally grew up at Fairlane Mall & Greenfield Village. I moved out of the area for 30 years and moved back almost 2 years ago. I'm one of those people who has a membership at THF just to walk the village! I love the village so much! I have many great childhood memories there!! Dearborn is a great place to be, although Michigan Ave is scary to drive sometimes! Thanks for another great video! I don't think I had so much appreciation for the history here until I moved back to the area.
Your videos inspired me to drive past my childhood home, check out downtown Detroit, and visit Fairlane Mall earlier this year. I love Hines drive! I have many great memories there also!!
My wife has 3 relatives that worked for the Blue Oval in Dearborn. No issues. When I was younger, I used go to The HF and Greenfield Village several times a year. I also shopped in downtown east Dearborn
Lived here my whole life. Just racist crap from the outside. It is lovely here.
There's too 2 parts of Dearborn, the East which is turned into a mini Detroit.
And the West where the People with Money are at big difference. You could
Definitely tell the difference.
Agreed. Dearborn is lovely. I take my kids there all the time. It’s safe and fun ❤❤❤❤❤
Except for the love and support for Oct, 7.😲
I live in Plymouth, about a 20 minute drive west of Dearborn, and Dearborn's always one of the first places I mention to check out when someone is visiting the area. It's an absolute gem between all the history, extremely unique culture, amazing food, etc.
100% Correct
Agreed cause Plymouth has very little to offer in comparsion. I hate Plymouth. Not that I have room to talk cause I lived right south of it in Canton which is even worse.
@@wullahblack6452 Plymouth has a lot to offer for what it is but it certainly can't compete with Dearborn
Great video; my family originally settled in Dearborn in the 1930s, and we’ve been here since. We previously owned a home just outside the Ford Historic District and recently moved to Dearborn Hills. Dearborn is a great city with a history unlike any other, and is a unique, diverse community with a ton to offer. Incredible, vibrant food scene and a ton of unique cultural attractions like the Henry Ford, Greenfield Village, and the Arab-American National Museum. I couldn’t imagine living elsewhere.
It’s interesting that you mention free parking as a perk of downtown West Dearborn and subsequently talk about how Dearborn struggled with vacancy around 2014-2015; Dearborn had actually started paid parking in the late 2000s and the city seemed to suffer greatly for a number of years until paid parking was revoked.
Dearborn looks like an interesting and nice place to live. What Ford has done for Dearborn is in sharp contrast with what GM did to Flint. That and Ford rebuilt Michigan Central Railroad Station. One of many reasons I don't like GM.
OMG Chris!!!!! This was an EXCEPTIONAL video! WOW, WOW, WOW.......I knew Dearborn was cool and heard that so many people said that is wasn't such a good city but this video makes it even better. This is an awsome city and so much to learn about. I intend to go see in the next six months. These videos are getting better and better, I love it! Thank you!!!!!!!
Wow, Chris. This is the best video you've ever done. I know it helped that you had a lot to talk about, but I really appreciate the work you put into this one. Good job.
I agree! A great history lesson.
For me Henry Ford is more like Elon Musk and not bill gates or jeff bezos.
Chris, how much is left of the Willow Run Bomber Plant? Ford did hire African Americans. From a online source: "Ford would come to view Black employees as the ideal workforce. Black residents needed jobs; they had no interest in unions because white unions had excluded them, so in the 1920s, Ford began to hire Black workers in large numbers."
But you're right about him not being fond of Jewish people.
Another great watch from Chris.
Dearborn is awesome! I spent a lot of time on the Westside of Dearborn off Michigan Avenue due to college. Great restaurants on that strip over there near Ford's Garage. Free parking too!
You really knocked it out of the park Chris!!! It is all here and illustrated with carefully crafted and placed multimedia features. From drone to historical photos and superb on the road video with in depth past and current historical narration this is about so much more than Dearborn. The entertaining and unique Chris Harden approach says succintly what works and what doesn't in society in general and America in particular. Urban planners, humanities departments, politicians and for any with a curious mind who want to know this is your place.
Dearborn gets a bad rap that it doesn't deserve and is one of the biggest unrecognized spots in Michigan.
Right. I don’t understand the bad rep. I mean I do… but I think it’s extremely ignorant of people to have such assumptions without seeing it for themselves.
Just compare East Dearborn in the 80’s and 90’s to what it is now. Or even Ford road just 10-15 years ago. You’d see the “bad rap” of the “Arabs” but tbh, we “Arabs” not only buy old outdated homes way over priced, and turn them into modern expensive homes and also invest in our community by supporting local private businesses. This makes Dearborn better than almost every single city touching Detroit other than Gross Pointe but one of the cities has an amazing river front view lol. So the bad rap is really a blessing in disguise.
Anti-Muslim attitudes are very strong in the U.S. since 9/11. Even stronger after October 7th. How nice the city is doesn't really matter.
35:50 You cut away just as you were entering the Southend neighborhood. That far southeast corner of Dearborn has an interesting history of it's own.
Also, I'd suggest exploring Ypsilanti sometime in the future.
Awesome video, keep up the great work!
Could've talked for another hour or two in this one... there's that much stuff to mention here.
Great work on this, thanks.
My only experience with Dearborn is about 6 years ago going to the U of M campus there for software engineering Masters classes but that only lasted about a year lol.
Excellent !! Grew up there 1950s - 1980s. Also went to Howaed Specs for DJ school back in the early 70s. Excellent Chris!!! Thanks.
I'd read at one point that Village Plaza Tower is supposedly owned by someone over in Macomb or Oakland county (I forget which), who is notorious for not lifting a finger to fix or improve his dilapidated properties. Does anyone know if the tearing down of this building is currently in court? - I'd be curious to hear about how this is progressing.
Great Video, better than East St. Louis.. Liked you having a guest on to add commentary... Maybe something you can add for future videos...
Chris thanks for the great honest review of Dearborn, I live near Downtown Dearborn and could not live anywhere else. This city is booming with development and with a demographic of Arab American entrepreneurs who constantly re-invent the city with development it always feels fresh. Not to forget we have a great ambitious Mayor Hammoud who truly cares about the city.
Dearborn is an expensive place to live and they have one of the best funded police departments in America. There's are some new construction homes that have a $17,000 a year tax bill. I knew of a guy who ran a body shop and he built a two million dollar house there. Hannibal Smith from The A-Team, AKA George Peppard grew up in Dearborn and he's buried in a cemetery there. Municipal Codes are enforced and Dearborn has clean neighborhoods. I remember watching the regent court building being demolished around March of 2024.
How expensive housing is depends on where it is Dearborn. Plenty of affordable housing, but also plenty of very expensive housing.
@@ChrisHardenit is worth noting that our taxes are outrageous. That being said, it’s still a wonderful place to live.
Noted the taxes in the video
Great video Chris! I grew up in Dearborn Heights and my father worked for Ford for over 30 years so Ford and the Dearborn area mean a lot to our family 💗 any chance you may be willing to do a video about the city of Wayne? I have lived in Wayne for 6 years now and I think it is a great little spot that has a bigger and positive future ahead. I know it is small, but there is Westland and Inkster near by as well so that would be a really cool video to see 😊 thanks again for the great work and looking forward to the next one!
One day I’m sure I’ll make a Wayne vid.
@@ChrisHarden awesome thank you 😊
What a great area. This would make a nice trip for someone wanting to travel somewhere in the US. I enjoyed this video.😊❤
Hi Chris, I'm 14:17 in and lost count on how many times you said Carhartt.........
Now back to the video, "so far a great watch."
Probably said "Ford" more than anything else throughout the video
@@ChrisHarden You're right but Carhartt did come up alot in the first third of the vid. Again, outstanding work.
Hey Chris:
I enjoyed the video but I was also disappointed. One of the things that you normally do that sets you apart is how you go on several side streets. It gives a much better feel of the city. For a large chunk of this video, you were on Michigan Avenue between Oakwood and Outer Drive. I feel Dearborn probably deserved at least 2 main channel videos. Looking forward to the unused footage on your other channel.
Watch my 2nd video when it gets uploaded and your disappointment will go away.
Hey Chris, I lived in East Dearborn the first 21 years of my life. My family even owned a business on Schaefer Road. I am a graduate of Fordson High School. Dearborn was a great community to grow up in during the 50's and 60' s. I have one comment that I believe you were incorrect on. I don't believe that Dearborn was ever Dearborn Twp. I think the first name was Spring wells. Dearborn Twp. became Dearborn Hgts. somewhere in the late 50's or early 60's. Thanks for doing this. I will look for your extended version.
There was indeed a Dearborn Township. Most of the city of Dearborn today was what used to be Dearborn Township. Only a small part of Dearborn was Springwells Twp, and Henry Ford happened to grow up on a farm in the portion of Dearborn that used to be Springwells.
@@ChrisHarden I still disagree, . Yes there was a Dearborn Hgts, but it had nothing to do with the City of Dearborn. but I love what you do and thank you for it. If you give me a source, I will respectfully say I was wrong.
@@ChrisHarden Sorry Chris, I meant say Dearborn Twp. in my reply to you.. later became Dearborn Hgts.
Just look up old township maps of Wayne County through a Google search.
There's Dearborn and there's Dearborn Heights. If you don't know that, you have no business saying anything. Dearborn is safe. The business is brisk, and you can find people walking in Dearborn at all times. The Muslim population is friendly, hard-working, and honest.
Looks like Dearborn has good vibes and alot happening there. Interesting to hear Carhartt company is there. I never knew that. I really need to take a drive there and visit some of those museums. Thanks for the video! When you come back through Illinois you have to do a video in Skokie. It's Dearborn's cousin. Lots of diverse people, tons of activities and restaurants and many old companies-Searle, Rand McNally just to name a few.
Nice! That I will. Definitely plan on showing some nice areas in Chicagoland in the near future.
wish you can make video at german town michigan thanks watching here in Philippines
Love your videos and learning about the history of all the different cities. Just wondering why you seem to neglect SW MI. No Kalamazoo with the history of Checker Cab and Gibson and the first pedestrian mall in America? No Battle Creek with Kellogg and Post? Not even Grand Rapids, the 2nd largest city in the state? Seems like you've covered huge parts of the rest of the state even going into the UP but just skip right on past us along 94 :P. We're literally the halfway point between Detroit and Chicago (131 was the territory border between the mobs of Chicago and Detroit) please come visit! 😁
Because I’m a West Michigan hater. Jk. Just haven’t gotten to it yet. There’s loads and loads of content to be had for my channel out there. Plenty of years worth.
Chris, excellent video, I know the area well😊
Dearborn has been an Arab community since the 90s or earlier
Your channel is growing Chris!!!!! Aim for 100k plus to a Million!!! ❤
There’s a place in Illinois called Oak Park right on Harlem Avenue near Lake Street and they converted what was the street It didn’t turn out very well. All the stores that were furthest from Harlem Avenue, which is the main street one out of business because no one wanted to walk two blocks to get to the outside mall so years later after spending millions of dollars to convert it to they had to convert it back to the street.
Work in Dearborn Michigan west Warren and Schaefer don't want to stay there but it just like melvindale Michigan 😅
Welcome to My City! Great video! I learned a lot! Wish I could have ran into you.
Its funny he didn’t get along with black people and Jews but loved Arabs
Be aware, the census numbers for anything not "on the decade" (1990/2000/2010/2020) are mere estimates/predictions, not actual counts. For some reason, the census virtually always predicts Dearborn to be losing people, and did so right up to 2020....their estimates predicted loss every year after a hard count of 97,850 in 2010 to a final estimate of 93,000 people before 2020....until they actually counted the population in 2020, and learned the population had jumped to 109,976, which firmly placed Dearborn in the top 3 fastest growing cities in metro-Detroit. My bet is they are wrong again, as there are basically no vacancies for homes in this city, and Dearborn is currently ranked as being in the top 10% of hottest housing markets in the US, according to Redfin (houses go from first listing to pending sale in 4-8 days and 1-6% above asking price)....that doesn't fit population loss.
Actually, the U.S. Census shows that Dearborn has grown in population during much of that time.
Always in Dearborn for something. Usually on the way home from work and I’m east a little past Detroit. Heck I was there today and it was my day off.
Long term West Born natives call it, "Dog Bone".
Bad drivers though. Youth in this community flex too much. Fast cars & aggression.
tons of good food there. Just outside of Dearborn is Family Bakery . That is a place you have to stop in and try.
I'm not sure what kinda of click bait video this is but I live in Detroit bordering Dearborn ford is in a rebuilding period outside of that Dearborn is just fine
Better to be in Dearborn than Flint!
Would rather be just about anywhere than Flint
It’s like saying having the flu is better than having AIDS.
Dearborn's sure no Harvey, Illinois or Gary, Indiana.
I would say not
I compare Detroit’s inner-ring suburbs to Aurora, Colorado.
Ford Canada headquarters is a miniature version of its Dearborn headquarters.
Just looked it up. Accurate assessment.
Do a video at Greenfield village plz
Haven’t looked into it yet but I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t allow filming and publishing. Pictures they do but idk about filming
Most of the suburbs cities are nice there was a few problem areas and everybody knows them I live on the North side of Detroit which is the nicest part
my boyfriend living in grand blanc michigan
Crime is low except for Motor vehicle theft rate (according to Niche).This rate is much above average
Is the Amy Joy dough nuts still there?
Dearborn is pretty great now
Agree
I've lived ONE block north of Dearborn since 1971!! Dearborn WAS a bastion of racism at one point,but since the Arabics settled-in in the late seventies,things have improved on that front. dearborn has the famous Ford/Rouge Complex and quaint Greenfield Village. West Dearborn= Anglo Saxon while East Dearborn= Arabic. 😮
I live next too Dearborn. The city has always been nice,clean and well run. The haters only talking point is they think its dirty because Arabic people call it home. Unfounded Racist nonsense. Ford Field Park was a favorite of my parents and the Dearborn Library is a sight too behold. It used too have a Water fountain that was World renowned and use too have a colored light display every night. Dearborn is how too do things right among all the cities doing things wrong.
I'm constantly correcting people from outside of Michigan who mistakenly think that Dearborn is a dangerous place, or that it's subject to Sharia law, because of that type of misinformation online. In reality it's a very nice suburb, and has bars and other things that clearly would not be allowed in a theocracy.
I'm going to start referring to this video as well when people spout nonsense about Dearborn . Let them watch for themselves that it's just a regular place.
@@TakenTook There is No Sharia Law in Dearborn or Michigan in general. That's Racist nonsence. They practice their religion which for reference is What The United States was founded on. Freedom of Religion of choice and Freedom from a Religion being forced on society. Dearborn has impressive walking and recreation area's its a rather large Burb of Detroit. Clean, Safe many shopping and tourism options but can get very busy with Automobile traffic at Certain hours. For the record I have ridden my bike and spent All day just enjoying the ride and the many nice nooks and crannies within the City. The Henry Ford Mansion and the Ford Field Park behind it off Michigan Alone is a Days adventure of World Class sights.
@@ricdale7813 -- That is exactly what I said!! You have misinterpreted my comment. Go back and read it again. I am constantly CORRECTING people from having those misconceptions. I've lived and worked in this area my entire life, and I have many professional colleagues and neighbors of Middle Eastern ancestry -- most of them Chaldean, Syrian and Lebanese Catholics, but also many Muslims. They are good people.
Dearborn is Dearborn. It's quite different than what most people are used to as well as quite different from what people think it is.
Im a car guy and 55 years old and my whole life ive spent kicking around this area. Im quite sure i know the place way better than this Nick feller but whatever
My birth place…
Bad nah just very cultural
I live in the largest Palestinian community in American. It's very similar,
Good food, lots of Arabs. Women wearing hijab and chador. Signs in Arabic. Some secondary auto manufacturing businesses. I saw nothing wrong with it either, and drove my semi there many times.
Nice bro
Dearborn is America's Saudi Arabia.
I’ve been to Dearborn and Dearborn Heights plenty of times in the past 20 years. I just don’t like it. I find it sketchy, but it doesn’t have the blight of Detroit and Highland Park. I don’t enjoy spending time in the urbanized inner-ring suburbs of Detroit. They remind me of Aurora, Colorado.
Would Jews feel safe in Dearborn? No matter, I have no travel plans. Greetings to Rashida Tlaib!
Why wouldn't they? Seems right wing moron media melted what was left of your tiny brain.
oh no, please come visit, please 😥
Jews would definitely feel safe in Dearborn. Michigan in general is becoming a pretty safe place since the pandemic. Come visit anytime! ❤❤❤
Hey Chirs hope your doing i got a funny that will brighttin your day.... mr ford is playing monopoly with gm lol ha
Great video, however, you forgot to mention the fact that the city hall everything is written in Arabic with English being the second language.
Oakwood Hospital now Corwell Health used to be the best hospital in southeastern Michigan, now it feels like a 3rd word country. 80% of the staff is Arabic and they have very limited English. YES, I HAVE SEEN ISIS FLAGS FLYING in that city. oh, I forgot to say I was born and raised there. If you walk your dog on the city sidewalk the Arabic will screem at you and call you names, they also tell you to get out of their city. Real Michiganders stay far away from Dearborn and Oakwood Hospital. It is not a nice city, you just spent a day or so, be there every day... NO THANK YOU!!
The ISIS flag has been debunked many times over😂
What a load of bs. I'm of 100% white European ancestry, previously lived in Plymouth (Ann Arbor before that), and have lived and continue to live in West Dearborn (SODA) right now. I know for a fact that City Hall signs and forms are primary written in English and secondarily in Arabic, which is entirely designed to help others who are still working on English. Only in small minds like yours is that a bad thing - I bet you hate seeing anything in Spanish as well. Tough luck buddy, as America is and always has been a melting pot. Next, name exactly where these Isis flags are - I'll drive to them right now and photograph the address to prove if it's true or not. Now it's true that you can always find a small number of people that have said crazy things at one point or another, but virtually every city has 30 or 40 crazies at minimum, and the vast majority of people here are just fine, very much love this country (if you truly lived here, there is no way you could have missed Dearborn Arab immigrants saying this is the best country in the world - they clearly say it more than people that look like me), and just want to live their lives in peace and support their families.
As for Corewell health, though many of its workers are of middle eastern ancestry, it is not 80%, and beyond that, I'm struggling to understand what exactly you are having a baby fit over - it sounds like you are saying you are angry that someone of middle eastern ancestry is allowed to earn a degree and be a doctor or a nurse (and in a town with a large (55%) middle eastern descent population)? Well, that's your problem. You should be proud that your neighbors earned a degree. Next, you are wildly exaggerating again when you say they can "barely speak English". Though some have may have an accent, I can name various Cardiologists, Electrophysiologists and RNs that work there and are of middle eastern backgrounds and show you videos of them speaking English just fine - can you prove your claim at all?
Lastly, the vast majority of my neighborhood own dogs and walk them on the sidewalk every day, with no problems. Again, I can take pictures or videos if you want, though I'm sure you will just claim that to be "fake news". Nobody in my neighborhood complains at all about people walking dogs, unless the owner refuses to leash the dog and it attacks the pets of others, or allows the dog to poop in others' yards and doesn't pick it up, or pee on their expensive landscaped flowers and the like, wrecking them - from your entitled attitude, it sounds like you might be that type.
People here are fine, and it's a nice city overall. Is it as nice as the very best places in Michigan, such as Ann Arbor? - nah, as it can be a quiet bedroom community at times, needs to push for far more public events and establish more green spaces (the pool obsession is outdated and overdone), needs to do more about the lousy drivers, and and needs to fill buildings like the old Kroger/Farmer Jack on Michigan Ave. But it's still a one-of-a-kind unique, interesting place in America, is doing great at growth (within the last 4 years, it's been ranked anywhere from 1st to within the top 3 fastest growing cities in metro-Detroit), is doing great with home values (top 10% hottest of every housing market in the US according to Redfin - my house alone has risen 110% in value in 6 years), has almost all you need fairly close-by, has surprisingly great city services, and is very well-policed (200+ very-well supported police officers and an average response time of 5 minutes - exceedingly rare in America for any suburb). Finally, if you want to experience REAL cultural diversity (not the bougie pseudo-culture fakery in so much of Oakland county/Western Wayne county and the like), the best museum in the state, and the best middle eastern food in America, Dearborn is miles above everything else in Michigan. You might hate that, but others of us rather enjoy it.
The fact that these people think they can take American land and be this way shows how much our society is crumbling. In Denver, I see Venezuelan flags everywhere.
GO GREEN GO GMC
Just don't fly an Israeli flag and you'll be fine.
You also have Mich Ave Dearborn and Warren Ave Dearborn. Y'all forgot to even really point that out.
There are places in Dearborn which are gated communities and you have blocks of Dearborn where throwing a rock can hit some dude in the hood and be staged for a bloody fight.
Too many foreigners
Foreigners who hate America and the west
Ya that’s like a very small part of Dearborn lol
FYI: The high poverty rate is primarily concentrated in the Amish community, which mostly borders Detroit. Or so I've heard....
Amish? Lol.
its a city full of shady people. NEVER by a car from dearborn
I wonder how much they paid you to say this? 60% abandoned homes, 40% illiteracy, 75% unemployment and with and average annual income of $18k. How long before you remove this comment?
Not a bad city, just bad locals.
Thought this was going to be some right wing propaganda. It is a cool city. I am about 4 miles to the west on Michigan Ave and very much wish I could live there
Are you a Romulan?
