Detroit is my hometown, embarassing as it it. 
I was born and raised in Detroit.  Moved to Florida for family reasons.  Even after 10yrs, I miss the atmosphere of a big city, always something to do.  But I have visited with friends (their first time there) and I am embarassed by the continued blight that exists.  Yes, Greektown and the Fox theatre are is great (Comerica Park), but I don't remember having to drive through so much garbage to get there.  The house I grew up in is now in a neighborhood surrounded by burned out houses and vaccant lots.  My Catholic high school moved from the Harper Woods area because of the neighborhood.  I spent 50 years defending my home town, but it gets more difficult everytime I visit there.
