I want to say as someone who grew up and lives in Virginia, Detroit is my favorite US city! I fell in love with the city when I first came to visit in 2014 right after the bankruptcy and I decided to volunteer at a tree farm with my mother in 2015. We both loved the architecture, the international riverfront, downtown, people mover, and the nice people in the Motor City. Sadly, my mother passed away 5/7/24 at the age of 70 from Bile Duct Cancer. I'm going back to Detroit next month to honor her by volunteering again and doing some more sightseeing including Motown Museum, The Henry Ford, Eastern Market, Tigers game at Comerica Park and the Detroit Institue of Arts! For you MOM! RIP

Just want to say as a Canadian across the river, I love Detroit. So many great things to do and it’s a city with a great vibe and great people. Often go to Detroit for sporting events (Tigers, Red Wings, Pistons and Lions) and live theatre. Have never had a negative experience. Thanks for the great video on a great city. Detroit is the Comeback City. 👏👏👍🇨🇦

Might be going off tangents here, but over the years since we started recovering from covid lockdowns, I started loving Detroit much more than any city in the Tri-State Area. When I take mass transit like as Long Island Railroad, Metro-North Railroad, and New Jersey Transit RR (NJT cancellations COUGH COUGH), I picture myself in Detroit at every station stopped at or bypassed! I also picture myself in Detroit when I eat at various places in the Tri-State Area. Detroit and its surrounding Metro Areas in my opinion also have SO MANY super friendly people, especially girls/women, and I think about all the vibes spread when using mass transit in my home region. I am DYING to visit this beautiful city someday! 💞💞💞💞

FYI... Belle Isle is NOT FREE. There is a small fee to get on to the island that must be paid at the entrance, but with that fee you have access to everything on the island. I personally pay annually for tge Metro Park Pass (about $15) when I renew my license plate tags, and that gives me a year of unlimited access to ALL Metro Parks in the State of MI... and there are hundreds of parks in MI.
