Visiting Detroit
< on 3/22/2011 2:42 AM >
Posted on Forum: UER Forum
 
I'm visiting Detroit for work and wanted to see if there are any locals who would be free this weekend to hit some places. I usually just go solo but am not very familiar with the area as far as what to watch out for. PM me if anyone is interested. Advice on the area is welcomed.

just be aware of your surroundings and you'll be fine. Detroit isn't as all of these myths and fairytales make it out to be...as long as you use common sense that is.

Go to Germantown or Kaisertown in Philadelphia. Go to Harlem in NYC. Go to the 90210 in LA - trust me ... Aligator boots were made for more than walking!

I'm just messing with you dude...I like your style on a side note.

Treat it like any other city, there are good and bad areas everywhere on this planet. Detroit is an amazing place, just blows my mind why so many people think it's this horrible place where you'll most definitely get mugged, raped, or shot. Although I would equate that to the massive amount of miss-information our media throws out there...shinfo

...also, you should shoot the 2 hour trip north to Flint and Saginaw. Two other great places that don't seem to get mentioned much

edit* DevilC said it best

Man you like to post old news. I mean shit, did you realize that Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941? Ya, dude. It was big news!!!! Those pesky Japanese. We should start a war with them!



Seriously, though ... its like drama in any city. Shit, I was rounding the corner in the hood down here in Buffalo and found a dead body in the middle of the street from a guy who was shot in the face in a random drive by - 3pm in the afternoon. Was I phased? No. I pulled out my camera and took some pictures of the police on scene and the body. It's like anything else you do in life. It comes with risk, and with big cities (not saying Buffalo is the same or different), you use common sense. Don't fuck with the homies, keep your shit clearly packed until you need it, and walk (run) in the other direction in any sign of conflict. I mean would you hang around if some homies were coming to get you? No ... you move quickly in the oppisite direction, rather than find out wtf they want. Its COMMON SENSE.

Disclaimer to anyone who finds the term "homies" a little less than PC. By that I mean street thugs with alternate agenda to yours - which could be any creed, sex, or orientation. Just trying to get my point across.

Then don't talk smack about, otherwise you become part of the problem rather than the solution.

I enjoy my ruin pr0n like any other hipster with nerdy glassy and tight pants, but I do respect to city for its grit, tenacity, and ferocity.

Here is the latest piece of insanity out of detroit. I think this was shot from an abandoned hosp. rooftop in the beginning. This would be quite a site to see while exploring. Incidentally, the woman was busted after this went viral yesterday.

BFD...i've seen 10x worse on Jerry Springer, and he aint in Detroit.

the only reason this is "viral" is because it's tagged Detroit. if it were tagged Philly or somewhere else, you could expect half the hits.

i wanna be sedated
