Recently visited Detroit for a NFL and it was an amazing experience. Loved downtown and the water front. The people there are so nice. I am definitely giving back for an extended visit.
@@georgew5038 glad you're not in Detroit anymore. See how well the city's come up since you've gone. We are the motor City. We are tourist destination. Don't care if you don't like it. So so glad you're gone and please don't come back.
Love my city! Downtown keeps looking better. Keep putting the work into restoring the neighbors outside of Downtown and we're heading in the right direction!
Detroit!!! Great to see the city again (I'm from the Detroit area originally), loved the aerial footage of the Fox Theater and the Little Caesar's Arena. Actually the first time I have seen what it looks like (RIP Joe Louis Arena, where the Wings used to play). Glad you got to explore downtown (the Tigers won today, too!) and I would also recommend the Detroit Institute of Art (it is home to a great collection including Diego Rivera murals) and the Motown Museum, where you can see where "Stop, in the Name of Love" was recorded! Safe travels!
Some additional recommendations would be Michigan Central Station (major renovation by Ford), Greektown, Mexicantown, Hamtramck, any of the casinos, Campus Martius Park (urban beach in the summer and ice skating rink in the winter), The Belt, Eastern Market, Detroit Princess Boat Tour, Belle Isle, Belle Isle (aquarium, beach, James Stott Memorial Fountain (similar to Buckingham Fountain in Chicago)), etc.
Thank you for sharing downtown Detroit, it looks beautiful. I haven’t been there since the early 90s. Your video has made me want to go there and visit again. Keep up the good work on your videos. 👍🏾😀👍🏾
@@aaronflowers8881 Southfield, Farmington Hills, Ann Arbor, Livonia ect. They always love saying Detroit has bad neighborhoods but never mention the good ones. It's like they don't know much about Detroit let alone love ripping into it.
So I just found your channel tonight and I'm really impressed. It certainly is obvious you definitely do your research. I like the fact you keep a good pace on your videos, keeping things moving. I'm subscribing in a moment. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks for the tour of Detroit and Cleveland.
So interesting to see an outsiders real take. While I probably wouldn't put the word 'gentrification', and the phrase 'much nicer', so close together in a sentence, I will say that the redevelopment downtown is not as geographically exclusive as such projects are in other cities. Money has gone to our neighborhoods as well. As someone who spent a decade in Brooklyn, and watched whole neighborhoods 'flip' in the worst possible ways, I've found that this process in Detroit - while in no way perfect - is generally more empathetic toward lifelong residents - with existing communities allowed to voice their ideas and concerns, and play a larger role in the redevelopment - than in places like NYC LA or Chicago. Detroit will be a New World Capital.
Definitely some great eats, history, scenery, and lots of outdoor activities available in Detroit and the surrounding area....... Home of Henry Ford, Dianna Ross, Red Wing hockey, Great Lakes boating, Arts and Entertainment........ You can even tour an operating Automobile Assembly line in Dearborn, Mi.
this has definitely sparked me some interest to visit detroit! i always hear bad and dark things about the city, so pretty much here in Indonesia, detroit is always under a bad light. this has definitely shed some light to the city! Love from Jakarta man!
So many people who speak about Detroit being so horrible have never even been in Detroit but go off of popular opinion especially through the media. Others go to the wrong spots in Detroit and assume all Detroit is bad and awful. Detroit is a mixed bag but there are thriving neighborhoods, fun things to do, decent cost of living, nice people and low crime in many areas of Detroit. You just need to know where to go.
Thank you for doing such a wonderful job on showing our city. It has many beautiful places and tons of things to do. It gets old seeing other UA-camrs crapping on it. You forgot the Detroit Institute of Art! Annnnddd.....those gray skies are why my family will be joining you in Arizona this fall. 😁
I was just in Arizona a couple of weeks ago and it rained parts of everyday and the skies were grey even when it wasn’t raining. The people of San Diego are the only ones who can really brag about year round good weather
Good and encouraging video. I've never been to the U.S. yet, but if I went, I'd like to visit not the big two or three, where everyone from Germany goes (New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles), but other places such as this one - Detroit - would certainly be a great place to visit.
Thanks for showing me around Detroit! Ever since I played that game, I've had a crush on the city, and I hope I'll be able to visit Detroit one day to see it for myself!😮
7:53 - "On that side of the river, they have a national healthcare system, which means you'll never have to worry about losing your house because you can't afford your medical bills, and you'll never go bankrupt trying to pay for your prescriptions. On this side, not so much." Other than that, yeah I love Detroit bigtime.
Not mentioned in your excellent video were the Ford Factory Tour where you can view from the pathway with a tour guide around the factory on the second floor how Ford build their cars and the Motown Museum. I was a little worried from what non residents of Detroit had told me it might be a black hates white museum but pleasantly I found it was just the opposite. The staff and other visitors were very friendly toward me and my wife and I have no hesitation in recommending these tours to any other Australians who may venture your way.
@@artaxerxes2363 The East side is awful, but there are many much safer neighborhoods in Detroit. Southfield, West Bloodfield, Royal Oak, and Novi for example don't get much crime. Detroit is not a fully dangerous city, just certain parts
Thanks for the Only ⛴️⛵ River Cruise OPEN last July 202! Your Crew made our Week.$10.00 Loved The d. 2030 will be Renaissance'd Bigger n Better. Detroit is COMING back.! 🍀
“Le détroit du Lac Érié"...a magical blend of brave, creative, brilliant, people from so many places on Earth. Detroit is still one of the premier cities in America, absolutely! God Bless every musician, athlete, and industrialist from the city that has changed the lives of the world.
That clip you got in the beginning of the restaurant called (Prime and Proper) is one of the best restaurants downtown! Occasionally you will see local celebrities there. Don’t forget to try the deserts, world class!
I like the way you explain everything about the city..Although I am a beginner in learning English , But the way of shooting and explanation makes anyone keen to follow the video..thanks for your efforts 🌷 Note: I hope you get the meaning of the words because I depend on the translation.. and thanks again.
I am just crossing the border from canada to visit my 1st place in USA and its Detroit because its the closest big city from Ontario. Glad to see some video with tips because a lot of people scared me so... Thinking about cancelling but I found videos... Just have to be careful not to go some area
Thanks for showcasing my city. Now I live in Phx and recognize you from another channel I follow. Detroit is a French word pronounced De-twa, similar to how you say “troi “ in ménage a troi.
Appreciate the video. There's a lot of more interesting things you missed but this is ok for someone unfamiliar with Detroit. You should of did a bit more research on things to do. Unfortunately, you came during the lockdown. We just opened back up in June. If you do this again, come in the summer and check out the other entertainment areas downtown like Greektown, the rooftop restaurants/ bars, the skip, the belt, and the casinos. And on the riverwalk floating bars, jet ski's, and boat cruises. Also check out Midtown, Belle Isle, Eastern Market, Dequindure Cut, Mexicantown and Hamtramck. And Downtown is fun and all but that's only a fraction of all the things there is to do in the entire Metro Detroit area. There's alot of different communities and vibes and you can do 95% of the things you can think of in a major metro area.
Gentrification is the process of changing the character of a neighborhood through the influx of more affluent residents and businesses. Because it tends to change the character of said neighborhood, it is a common and controversial topic in politics and in urban planning.Wikipedia
In Detroit's case, it's mostly adding residents and retail to places that were previously lots or vacant buildings. It's not quite the same issue as Brooklyn which retained population density and most old buildings remained in use.
You left out white affluent people. Rents are so high that the typical Black person can't afford to live in the area being showcased. Also, when he mentioned 2 museums, I expected him to name Charles Wright Museum. Oh well, nice video
It is so weird that news or some article on the Internet says this city is outdated and abandoned. Actually, from my perspective, this is a city clean and nice place to visit.
Hey Jeff, after so much travel and experience from flying. Could you do a video talking about your favorite airline? Which flying experience stuck with you the most? Who were your favorite, which airline did you think had the best food? Thanks!!
Wait what ?? Detroit is a tourist destination??no?? I thought it was !! It’s one of the biggest cities !! Bigger than Atlanta Georgia !! It’s sad that such a Mayor , city counsel and etc would allow such a huge gigantic city go to somewhat of a waste …. It’s bigger than atl Georgia and has so much potential . -I do see that Detroit is coming back together slowly and I’m just so happy that Michigan has a governor who cares about her state … Michigan has great rivers and lakes and it’s cool to see that their working in keeping those lakes secure
Still one of the most dangerous cities in America to be in, but the great renaissance of Detroit is great and things are finally starting to turn around.
Actually it's not as dangerous as people make it out to be, only in certain parts. I've always walked the streets at night in Detroit and never once felt unsafe
Detroit is 142.9 SQUARE MILES. Not the largest in America, but HUGE! Therefore it is accommodating for any income. Whether you are rich or poor there's a place for you. There's more beautiful area's than there are slum. You just have to know how to navigate your way around. I will admit it's NOT a playground, but if you know your way around, you know where you can be and where you should NOT be. Having written that: the media of course only wants to display the unsavory aspects of Detroit. They don't want you to use GOOGLE and surf across Detroit's Palmer Park, Palmer Woods, Sherwood Forest, Rosedale Park, North Rosedale Park, Indian Village, Mayfair Park subdivision, Russel Woods, Boston Edison District, The University District of Detroit, Wayne State University District, Bagley Area and many other beautiful areas I could name. Anyhow; Detroit is The State of Michigan's cash cow! The state of Michigan collects more in revenue in property taxes, automobile registrations, license plates, liquor licenses, lottery revenue and etc than ANY OTHER city in the state of Michigan and everybody knows it. And that includes the ultra rich city and the residents of Bloomfield Hills. That's why the state of Michigan stepped in during the bankruptcy of 2009 because of the mismanagement of funds.
The only tourist attraction in the USA’s biggest hood is the Motor Museum. It has historic vehicles such as the Rosa Parks bus, and the car JFK was riding in when he was assassinated.
I lived in Novi for few years and miss walking around the detroit river by GM!! Go Detroit!!
Recently visited Detroit for a NFL and it was an amazing experience. Loved downtown and the water front. The people there are so nice. I am definitely giving back for an extended visit.
Cool. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Nkualls
Detroit also has become a tourist destination again. And that's great we are the motor City. And more. Come and check us out for yourself.
Detroit is the worst city on the planet i lived there 2 years and it was awful

Don't come back now, you hear? For real, glad you're gone and please don't come back.

ABSOLUTE PROFESSIONAL photography ALWAYS PLEASING to see Detroit in a good light !
Love my city! Downtown keeps looking better. Keep putting the work into restoring the neighbors outside of Downtown and we're heading in the right direction!
What good is it to restore the neighborhood when the neighbors are continuing to destroy it .
Definitely
Detroit used to be so much better. Now it is a car-centric wasteland.
Detroit!!! Great to see the city again (I'm from the Detroit area originally), loved the aerial footage of the Fox Theater and the Little Caesar's Arena. Actually the first time I have seen what it looks like (RIP Joe Louis Arena, where the Wings used to play).

I’m glad to see Detroit is starting to come back, if ever so slow. It’s a start. Gotta redo the downtown and the rest will fall in place
Sports teams have good gm's finally that's why
Lions pistons on the rise more people will come there to see games
Some additional recommendations would be Michigan Central Station (major renovation by Ford), Greektown, Mexicantown, Hamtramck, any of the casinos, Campus Martius Park (urban beach in the summer and ice skating rink in the winter), The Belt, Eastern Market, Detroit Princess Boat Tour, Belle Isle, Belle Isle (aquarium, beach, James Stott Memorial Fountain (similar to Buckingham Fountain in Chicago)), etc.

And that's not true
Detroit seems to be healing. Good to see😊

Btw there’s more too!
cant wait to visit. gonna stay with a friend here for a few weeks. should be fun!
It's so clean! I wish my country were as clean too!
Wait until you see the neighborhoods, you'll think differently.

Gentrification is the process of changing the character of a neighborhood through the influx of more affluent residents and businesses. Because it tends to change the character of said neighborhood, it is a common and controversial topic in politics and in urban planning.Wikipedia
Its needs too
It changes the neighborhood character from abandoned to hip, and is controversial only to the clinically insane.
In Detroit's case, it's mostly adding residents and retail to places that were previously lots or vacant buildings.
It's not quite the same issue as Brooklyn which retained population density and most old buildings remained in use.
You left out white affluent people. Rents are so high that the typical Black person can't afford to live in the area being showcased. Also, when he mentioned 2 museums, I expected him to name Charles Wright Museum. Oh well, nice video
tbh, the alternative was worse and did nothing good for nobody.
