So I am born and raised in Detroit, been here all of my life. But it is no longer the cool city it once was. With bad Mayors, bad leaders in general, bad economy, and the recessions, Detroit has suffered tremendous blows. As a result, the job market is terrible, housing is so cheap you could buy it out of pocket almost, most neighborhoods have a series of abandoned broken down empty houses on them, the energy of people is low, the esteems are low, and just a hum-drum dark place to live. However, Detroiters are tough, and we try to make to best of what we have. We do have great parks, great entertainment, great music, great clubs, and great historical sites. We are only a few minutes away from Windsor ONT Canada thru the tunnel. So I think these things are the only things that keep us going. But unfortunately, the most important things that sustain life (housing, employment, education, crime, weather, etc..) are horrible here. I am about to move myself, and even though this will always be "home", I need a better life than this one. If you coming for a visit, we have fun things to do, so you'll probably have a good time, we are still Motown and the Motor City. But if you are trying to start a new life and wanting to move, I would look at other places first. If still interested, make sure you visit our neighborhoods, and actually talk to Detroiters to get a real perspective on Detroit as a whole. We are slowly making a comeback, but to me, it's coming back too slow.

The Lions finished the season so strong with 4 wins in a row, including a win over the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers. If Stafford, Best and Johnson can all stay healthy, I think this squad really has a chance to compete and …
