Detroit was pretty cool.I went there for a conference so I didn't get to see a whole lot.But I didn't get an airbnb for a reasonable price and visited a couple of coffee shops breakfast places and restaurants. I'd say a coffee on average was about six dollars or seven. Detroit felt smaller than I was expecting it too of course this is different if you're downtown. Also, you can see Canada from a lot of different places.It's super super close.

Detroit has come a long way from the basic stereotypes movies portray it as. Most of the corners surrounding the city are blue light districts (meaning they are always under surveillance by police). These have helped to deter crime and clean the city. There are emergency stations (like on college campuses) posted all over as well as a heavy city police presence. Detroit is honestly one of the safest cities in the U.S. I have no worries walking alone day or night. Everyone is very friendly and always willing to assist out-of-towners.
