I spent at least 4 years of my life working in Detroit.

Detroit is a city that would be improved by a major earthquake.

The "Asshole of America" doesn't really do it justice.

I was there before they started to tear down all the Hell's Night shit. So every other house was a burnt out hulk. What used to be 4500 square foot beautiful houses were rat infested crack dens. Gun fire was not only normal but expected after the sun went down. It was truly post apocalyptic in certain parts of town. Only Newark NJ compares to what I saw in Detroit. And I've been almost everywhere.

You know what is the best part of Detroit?

The tunnel to Winsor, Ontario.

I lived in that state up north for two years back in the early 90s.

I found their women to be easily bedded and their men to be mostly interested in professional wrestling and scratch off lottery tickets.

To their credit, we never threw away $.10 returnable can/bottle. That was another lottery scratch off...

I had to screen shot this for future reference. The funniest/most accurate depiction of that state I can remember seeing.

And I say all this being from Youngstown. I know shit when I see shit.

Detroit is the "Asshole of America" with the stink alone, and has the warts and hemorrhoids as the shit icing on the shit cake...

You Italian? If not, what the fuck were you doing in Youngstown? :lol:

That place is more rough than Cleveland.

Not Italian. Y-Town is being reborn. If they can keep it going. You drive through the old fucked up neighborhoods and the City has torn down the abandoned houses and sold the lots to the people that will take care of it. There are seriously some "wide open spaces" in the middle of the city. Its fucking freaky. What used to be wall to wall abandoned houses may now have a two acre grass lots. I have hope for this city, seriously. The downtown is filling up with bars and restaurants in the old boarded up buildings. At least a few of the fucked up neighborhoods are being reclaimed. It is 1000% better then "murder capitol of America" in the late 80s/early 90s crack wars. I ain't joking. Yes, there are shitty parts of town, but it used to be ONE big shitty town. LOL.

:lol: Downtown Dayton is certainly a shithole. There are a few bigger businesses trying to facelift the downtown area, but it's still shitty. The suburbs surrounding Dayton aren't so bad, and the local HS football is as good as it gets outside of Cincy and Cleveland..

As for Springfield, that place might be in worse shape than Ytown and Dayton combined. You could probably walk down Main Street, and find used syringes all over the place.

None of the above come close to the shittiness that is Detroit... You could walk around certain areas and feel like you are in the next Fallout video game.

I haven't been to Dayton/Springfield since around 2003 but it was a Youngstown style shithole for sure. Hopefully they're doing something about it.

What Y-Town found out is that all the shitty crack den properties were generally owned by absent landlords who lived in Texas or Nevada or wherever. Y-Town said "you got 30 days" and then took over the property and leveled the abandoned buildings if the owners didn't do something...
