      Yeah thats 🧢 i’ve lived here for 40 years and the only thing nice in the city is downtown. We have the highest taxes in the state. We have the worst schools in the state probably the country I live in a area where you can’t even get gas after 6:00 PM without getting robbed stop gaslighting people you privileged white people come from the suburbs live here for two years downtown and then you know Detroit😂

    As Englishmen but owners of several Mustangs, two friends and I visited 9 years ago and absolutely loved it. We had friends that lived just about 20 minutes outside of Detroit and they had worked in the Motor City for decades, so they made wonderful tour guides! The Henry Ford is the best museum I've ever been to (just beating our own London based Natural History Museum!). Greenfield Village is well worth the entry fee, and as car nuts we also visited Ford's Rouge Plant, where you can see the F150 trucks being built. Detroit is a wonderful city and one we'd love to visit again. Thanks for the great video!

    Born and raised in Detroit and still here after 46 years. My daughter attended The Henry Ford Academy high school which is inside of The Henry ford museum and Greenfield Village. An amazing high school experience for the students. I love my city.
    Also a little crazy fact history on the Chair that Abraham Lincoln was shot in. Because of his height, at the Ford's theater, they brought this chair in specifically for him because he was so tall and this chair was lost for years afterwards. It was found being used in a janitors break room at a museum because they didn't know where it was from at first. They recently received the chair at this museum and it still has blood stains on it from the Assassination. The director at the museum has the complete story of the chair.

    Detroit is a great city. It has a great airport and great sports stadiums/arenas. You definitely hit some highlights. Might I recommend the following on a return trip: Greenfield Village, The homes of the Ford's (Henry and Edsel's), and the zoo. And if you really want the Detroit experience try to catch a Red Wings game--it isn't called Hockey Town for nothing.

    What a good video. The only disappointing part is inclusion of the "Heidelberg Project". This is not art. It is an eyesore that most of us here in Detroit have been trying to see gone for decades. We're not proud of it. It is a reminder of the blight that we're trying to leave behind. Just junk. Other than that, I really enjoyed hearing an out-of-towner's take on our city. There's so much goodness that wasn't covered, most probably due to lack of time. We really are the city on the move. If you visit, just skip Heidelberg. You're welcome!

    2:19 for some reason, that collection of heating stoves is interesting. I'm pausing to Google it in detail.

      I agree, they had a lot of unique things like the stoves. I would have loved to have spent a half day there

    Absolutely love your videos.....especially the ones when you and your Pops travel together. Such a special bond that all your viewers can see. Quick question, my wife and I along with our dog "Saylor" will be traveling through California summer of 2025. Our trip is titled "California Dreaming; Don't Worry, Beach Happy". My question is I did not factor in the opening of Tioga Pass when making our reservations. If Tioga Pass is not open in early June what is my option to get from Bishop to Oakhurst? Would you recommend going around through Tahoe or heading south?. Love you travel videos.

      Good question! It is a long drive when Tioga is not open. I would recommend Tahoe though as that area is so beautiful and it is normally open unless there is a crazy snow storm or something

    The Maritime Museum looks interesting, there should be a museum for the Red Tails WWII fighter squadron, there is a museum at Selfridge ANG Base and also at the Windsor Airport, Fort Wayne & Fort Malden isn't too far away from Windsor Ontario, check out Greek town next time.

    Man you were so close to the best hot dogs in the world right across the bridge in New Jersey. If you find yourself in NYC make the trip to Fort Lee and hit up Hirams French Fried hot dogs. It was Anthony Bourdain’s favorite place!

    Vernor's - oldest continuous ginger ale in the US, Eastern Market - a real market to both commercial and retail trade, Greek Town, the Salt mines - if they still do tours. That should get you started _AND_ Buddy's Pizza on 6mi & Conant IS the original Detroit style pizza. How do I know? I lived 1min walk & could see their building from my bedroom window, long before they franchised. If you want Detroit style pizza, that's the only place to get it.

      Thanks for the comment! We stayed outside of the city near the Henry Ford museum and drove in. I am not sure what the best hotel would be in downtown, maybe someone more familiar with the city can provide a comment
