When was the last time you were in Detroit?

Does Detroit have a dedicated paid group of Reddit PR people or something? I mentioned Detroit in a negative light one time a few months ago on the Toronto subreddit and got bombarded with downvotes and hate lol

Not to say there's anything wrong with your city, it's just crazy how many people will go to bat for it online in such a seemingly wide range of subreddits 😅

The city has dramatically changed in the last 15 years. There is a lot to be proud of now. It’s still probably a shit hole to outsiders but you had to be here 20 years+ ago to see the difference.

Detroit may be a shit hole, but by gumbo, it's OUR shit hole. :)
