It bears the brunt of the joke in many conversations so I assume it gets tiring to repeatedly hear the same joke

Beating a dead horse I guess?

Yes,

It’s just Detroit vs Everybody at this point and we’re protective of our state and city. It’s not as bad as everyone makes it. (Anymore)

And FTP (fk the packers)

Last time I visited, it was legit. Detroit is reborn every couple decades. It's super cool right now. But there are still def pockets that would fall into "hide to kids, hide to wife" territory.

Not gonna lie I grew up in Redford off lahser 7mile in the 80s I don’t go near it any more unless it’s Lous Deli if it’s even still there anymore. I’ll take a chance for Lou’s Deli.

I remember belle isle shoot outs and boblo island compared to now being in the city is a breeze the reason I say that if I remember correctly Detroit police back in the day had to tow their cars to certain spots because either they didn’t run or someone stole the wheels off.

Now you actually see nice cars and trucks it’s amazing when I come home.

Lou's Deli is still there.

The city has really rebounded, and Greenfield/Lahser area is getting better all the time.

In December I was in downtown Detroit for the first time in probably 15 years. It was incredible! The amount of bustle and cool shit going on from Campus Martius to the Fox was unreal. I've been in plenty of bigger cities that totally lack that sense of place, and I know there's lots more going on elsewhere in town. FTP.

I gave up on making fun of Detroit.

Switched to Albuquerque instead. Most of the Detroit jokes still apply, with the added bonus of drug cartels being more local.

Here at Tegrity cartels, we manufacture our drugs locally and with integrity.
