I’ve traveled to Detroit for work on occasion over the last 5 years or so, and from what I see they are really trying to turn the city around. Trying to bring work back, roads and infrastructure updates, and it just seems to be getting better. No city is going to be perfect.

Some other cities I’ve been to quite a bit I could say the opposite, but Detroit keep moving forward!

This past year was the first time in ages there was population growth in Detroit. Its definitely improved over the years, but still needs a lot of work.

But of course Washington had to come in and ruin all that success.

Yeah my fiancé & I are relocating there from Memphis this year. We fell in love w Detroit when we visited once, and we’ve been on an anti-Detroit-hate campaign ever since.

I’d love for Memphis to see some revitalization like that too one day. It gives me hope lol

I hope you visited in the winter to get the full picture. Detroit in the summer 10/10. Detroit in the winter 3/10.

I actually did! Surprisingly, southern winters feel colder to me. Something about that humidity is piercing on the skin. It just stings, it hurts.

I get that the winters are much longer tho which will really be a change for us.

Memphis isn’t a place I’ve been too much for work other than driving through it on interstate. A coworker I worked with had a really bad experience there working to the point where he moved hotels to across the state line to Mississippi.

That’s really the only person I’ve known who has been there tbh, and then obviously I know Young Dolph RIP
