Detroit

If you ask me if it’s a good idea to go to Detroit, I’ll immediately say Don't Go There! This is because, sometime back, I had made a trip to Detroit which left a bad impression on me. It was in the worst condition of any place I have ever been. It is an old run down city which has lost a considerable part of its population in the past 30 years and has had to face a tough struggle with rising crime, failing schools and other social problems. It also largely missed out on the housing boom that had earlier swept much of the country. Actually, when I went there, a large part seemed just like a ghetto to me.
