More people get killed per year in Detroit than in Baghdad!
Horrible city!
Another very liberal Democratic city is Detroit--where no Republicans hold an elected citywide office. Disproving Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s contention that it is the white power structure responsible for the African-American dilemma, the mayor, the district attorney and eight of the nine city council members are black. No white guys to blame in this city, just liberal Democrats. Again, when we separate Detroit from the rest of Michigan we find the gun crime problem concentrated in the Democratic areas with Detroit’s 8% of the state's population perpetrating 59% of the murders. That puts Detroit’s murder rate above Jamaica’s, which is the third highest in the world. And Jamaica’s gun laws may be the most restrictive in the world. Possession of a single bullet, with or without a gun, is punishable by life in prison.
When the experts on Detroit from other places get done with their fun, we can actually help you out X-rated. I know that you were looking for local info... not distant opinion.
It's just that the area is so big and much happens outside the city. If you or anyone else is scared to visit Detroit, I understand. I can set you up with a 70 year old nun who lived there during the riots to protect you.
Sounds like if your gig is near DTW, rather than DET... you will never enter the city.
Henry Ford Museum is in Dearborn. Home of the largest US population of Muslims. If you get near Dearborn... eat at Muers "Big Fish." http://www.muer.com/
X rated is coming at a less exciting time of year. Summer would be boating, Woodward Dream Cruise, etc.
