    Is Detroit still a violent place to be?

    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!

    Photos Found another place to explore. Florida Mountains near Deming, NM

    The Florida Mountains are rugged and remote. The Apache came here for the abundant plants they used as medicine and food. The name Florida in Spanish means 'abundant or covered in flowers." I was too late for spring flowers but I'll definitely be coming back here. This place is gorgeous.
