I grew up in Detroit from 1952 to 1988 and it had it’s problems then but it was a great place to work and play. The music scene was the greatest and so were the people. There was lots of money for the parks and reacreation system and infrastructer. Nothing like going to a Tigers ballgame at the old Tiger stadium.The roar of the crowd as the ball went over the outfield roof. This video opened up my eyes and I hope many other as well.It looks to me America has a “Third World Country” right here in our backyard. The people who filmed this were lucky they got out without any altercations with the locals. It’s a city that needs help.How many other towns and cities in our country are just like this? Maybe it” time to film the rest of them too! An Old Motown Dude, Tom.
Oops. After watching your video, I continued looking at UTube videos and watched one called A Tour of Detroit’s Ghettos. When I wrote my comments I thought they would show up on that video’s website. Sorry that they showed up here.
Hi Sheila and Ryan!
Great Part 3 video! We LOVE Sedona….I recognized Chimney Rock in the distance from the balcony in your hotel room (we always stay at Enchantment Resort out off Dry Creek Road…the Mii Amo Spa there is incredible!) and it looks like you guys hiked up to Coffee Pot Rock! We’ve done that hike and made it up to the base of the ‘coffee pot’….wow, what a glorious view out over Sedona! It’s just so peaceful there…you have to go back for longer!
And Elote Cafe….just amazing! We are trying to plan a little fall getaway back there now…and we were just there this past April…such a special place to get back to.
Thanks so much for sharing your cross country journey! So fun!
In all of time and space, there is no challenge, pothole, mountain, chasm, hurdle, or foe larger than you. Not even close. Although if all you use to size them up are your physical senses… good luck! — Mike Dooley
