detroit

Unsure if this is the right place to post this. Was wondering if Detroit is still fairly crime-ridden? I don't feel like getting shot or stabbed over the $20 in my pocket. I'd likely be train-hopping in on Norfolk Southern into the Dearborn or Melvindale area. Thanks in advance!

I looking for a new homebase out of Minneapolis. I've heard some things about Detroit, but it seems to be in extremes. I've heard it's not bike-friendly and the public transit is a mess. I would need a car to get around. But, I know a lot of punks and hippies moved that way and they are turning...

I have Square on my phone to use when someone owes me money and they make the excuse: "I don't have any cash right now..." and I whip out my Square reader and say, "Not a problem!'. This guy has a new approach. Plus, it sounds like he's doing some good stuff. ----------- A homeless man in...

Technically, he is not squatting because the owner wants him there to deter thieves and destruction, but pretty nice deal, all in all.

Apparently the options for squats in Detroit are endless, and people just farm on abandoned properties. Planning on hitting up Florida gatherings for the duration of february, but if anyone is interested in bunkering down in Detroit I am down. I have some college horticulture experience and...

Hey guys I'm new to this site and actually to the whole idea of what this forums about. I live in Detroit and recently met a younger couple, a boy and a girl who traveled from Louisiana all the way to Michigan. I was downtown skating and this random dude comes up and starts skating with us...

How's everybody doin? I'm Jacob. From Detroit. I've been lurking these boards for a little while now as my pipe dreams have evolved into decisions and plans. I figured it's time to register. I decided a little while ago that school isnt where I belong for now. I'm on the path towards a life I...

K, so my friend wants to to go visit him in Detroit. Our birthdays are close together so he thought of the genius idea of combining them and having an early party in mid January. He's got a place for me to crash and all that jazz. only question I have is... is Detroit worth the price of a plane...

Saw a special on T.V....houses in Detroit, Michigan are going for a just few hundred dollars each. If you're flush with cash and good with a hammer, and can handle living in Detroit, you might consider jumping on that shit.

I used to live in North Carolina. I was having a hard time finding a job "as usual," and a female friend I was interested in, wasn't ready to not be with her bf anymore; so I figured I would find something to do. I went down into the town of Fayetteville NC and found a carnival there. I already...
