    Detroit's scariness is so over hyped. Sure, you can find rough parts, but that's true of every other city. If you're going to Dequindre in Detroit proper, it's very easy on/easy off and not in that horrid of an area. Knowing the cross street would help, though.

    I would not say overhyped as under explained. Detroit, like Flint, does have a very high biolent crime rate. Thing is, unless one is a gangbanger, there really is no more to worry about other city. All the crime rate is mostly turf wars from the gangs.

    That's like a block off 75 (or the Chrysler as Detroiters call it) There's a Rider Terminal there. I have to rescend my previous comment. That's a pretty Beirut looking area, I wouldn't stay there over night. Lots of shuttered stores and empty houses. I had to pick up a bunch of recycled steel from an Allied Waste place there probably about 4 or 5 years ago.
