This is what we do.
Ever since that Eminem/Chrysler commercial premiered at the Super Bowl, it seems that everyone collectively decided to care about the plight of Detroit again.
For those of you who don’t pay attention to things outside your home town, Detroit is a city in a sort of decline; once a major metropolis, the economy’s problems coupled with the real estate bust coupled with crime couple mostly with the auto bailouts has left Detroit a bit downtrodden. You can get houses for a few thousands, the population has shrunk to around 900 thousand and few people seemingly want to go back to a place that is on the decline.
Because of this semi-evuacation though, the people who remain are able to do things that no one else can. For instance, in what other major city can you and your friends grab a few snowmobiles and take a joy ride through the cities landmarks and highways?
By the way, let’s not count the city out fully or backlash on that Super Bowl ad. Check out “Detroit Lives”, a documentary hosted by Johnny Knoxville about the youth of the city remaking Detroit into their own little DIY paradise.
Note to self: Put snowmobiling on my next list. This looks alsome.
Going that fast with all those concrete abutments around is just stupid.
I’ve done that before across the river in Windsor ON, Canada. it’s great out there you get all that snow to play with for 1-2 days then it usually goes away. Screw it I grew up in that area and if the hometown pride is still open i’m jumping ship back to Detroit.
HA – sang said ‘abutment’.
Also – they need Ed 209 to clean that place up.
