Detroit Q&A -
- Thread starter The Joker
- Start date
Are the people of Detroit aware of what REALLY caused the destruction of the infrastructure?
Do you love Greendot Stables as much as everyone I know seems to?
Everyone denies it but yep.
There was a fire a few blocks from me last week. A heroin junkie squatter tried to use the old fireplace.
It is heaven on earth. I want their cajun French fries now...
Now I want them also.
If a lot of buildings in Detroit are becoming abandoned due to foreclosure or whatever, are they starting to look like the buildings in Life After People?
Why?
Oh yes, there is a factory a few miles away from me that looks just like that.
People claim that Detroit will be revived, but I will believe it when I see it
It needs to be closed off to the world come summer when all the "ganster" kids get out of school and their parents just let them run free.
What's the worst it's been?
When the recession in the US hit it was awful here, families, mine included, lost their homes, my family and I were poor, but in an awful government fuck up, not poor enough for hand outs. My dad, basically all of my friend's parents, lost their jobs at Ford. My sister would actually take extra muffins at her free school lunch so she would be promised breakfast. Our heat was turned off for a week because we simply couldn't afford heating in the middle of a michigan winter.
We got off good. I know of people whose families never recovered and live in section 8 housing, sold pain meds/ had botched abortions because they couldn't afford the procedure, and worse.
My family moved out of the city to rent a home in a neighboring city afterwords after my friend and I got jumped by two Mexican guys who took our school id's, her smart phone, and a gym uniform inside an old laptop case I used to keep my swim team gear in. The ass holes now had the uniform of a sweaty, chlorine drenched, high schooler, and two cards that had library codes on it.
What parts of the D you from?
Should move down into Downriver like I have, Joker. Property values dropped like hell with the recession, but the crime never really followed past Outer Drive. True it is a lot less interesting here, but its only a 10 minute drive into the city.

I think @Poison_Ivy might enjoy this thread.
I heard they were trying to create a writers colony in the abandoned parts of the city. A free house to live in as long as you help renovate it and promise to live there for at least five years. Is this true?
LMAO thank Surtur! I too can help answer questions. Even though I wasn't inner city, Detroit still played a big part of developing years. 
Wasn't there someone who was scared of you because you are from Detroit?LMAO thank Surtur! I too can help answer questions. Even though I wasn't inner city, Detroit still played a big part of developing years.
Lmao several people actually. I would use it as a place marker (I've become smarter and use a different city so people won't be afraid lmao) but yeah, I had a friend who thought I carried a knife on me all the time.
Did you ever hear gunshots when you stepped out of your house?
Ahhhh I love that two Batman villains (@The Joker and @Poison_Ivy ) happen to be from Detroit. Detroit? Moar liek Gotham, amirite?
new years always has some a hole doing that.
Batman Vs. Superman was filmed in detroit for the Gotham scenes.
I was at a local highschool to work as an extra with my dad. We both got Gotham University sweatshirts.
