I’m curious as to why you and the other women found it so funny and entertaining to be be standing in a poor neighbourhood, as if you just took a trip to the zoo? I’m sure you would not walk into one of their houses and laugh in their faces because they live in poverty…so why would you find it ok to laugh at them behind their backs and then show it to all your viewers? And it’s not just in Detroit it’s all over North America and the World…and it’s getting worse by the day. You are very fortunate if you get to live a different life…or just drive threw…just please don’t laugh at or be disrespectful to the rest of us.

I am Canadian and spent a year in Windsor while in teacher's college. I didn't have a car in those days (didn't feel safe using public transportation alone, across the border), so I didn't get to see Michigan. Thanks for posting this (and Frankenmuth earlier). Your husband has a great attitude and good English skills. I had an exchange student from Japan who took my Drama class and she experienced huge culture shock, but was always so sweet and polite as well.

[@OrientalPearl]

I’m glad you got to see the video from the first trip to America. We had a lot of fun both times.

[@geoffoakland]

I always wondered what it's like living in Windsor, it being right across the river from Detroit. I realize Detroit is a lot nicer now, but having that big city with a terrible reputation so close. Is there much spill over crime? I could imagine the Canadian border police being on high alert 24/7.

[@leslietauhidalam5981]

I used to visit Windsor a lot when I lived in Guelph, Ontario. I used to stand by the river and look across at Detroit and wonder what it was like. I was born in St. Catharines and my family still live in the Niagara Peninsula. We used to go across to Upstate NY a lot in those days. Our family considers Americans from the border cities to be pretty much the same as us.

Having lived in (metro) Detroit for 35 years, I can relate to this journey. What always got me was the number of Cadillac, Lexus, Lincoln, and other luxury vehicles being driving by the folks who lived in those run-down neighborhoods. Not the trade-off I would have made (or that I did make). Oh well. Having said that, I personally never felt unsafe in Detroit. I spent a lot of time in the city and in the neighborhoods, I rode my bike to work through the city of Detroit (and past houses that looked just like the run-down ones here) but the people were always friendly and kind. My favorite memory was riding my bike home on a hot summer's day and a dad and kid with a supersoaker offered to soak me down and I gladly said "YES!" It felt so good and we all just laughed!

Growing up in the Intermountain Northwest, I remember seeing abandoned homes in the rural areas I lived in. I always found them quite sad, like a dog waiting for a master who was never coming home. And others just looked plain creepy, like they were haunted. In time I found out local families owned the land where these houses sat, they just used the land as a Tax Write Off. pearl, you should take your husband to one of the local haunted attractions, they should be starting up there soon, in honor of Halloween 🎃

Loved the video. As a country lad from the UK I find most city scapes threatening. It's sad seeing the old homes rotting away, although the idea of nature reclaiming them is good. Some years ago I took my niece and nephews to a war museum. A former soldier was showing off some guns and my eleven year old nephew just walked away. We were embarrassed that he was being rude but he explained that it upset him that the man was glorifying tools made for killing. Sometimes kids can be so wise.

A lot of USA is like this, you can drive around a state and find old abandoned areas all over, we have them in Florida, and New Jersey that i've seen personally. I don't really consider these area's the "ghetto" just abandoned. the places I avoid are rough area of a city where there is active drug activities and gang shootings often. I had a family member so lived in a city and when i would visit we would go for walks with the dogs and all but she warned me of all the streets not to walk down because they know of local gangs that own those streets which is insane but it's still a thing in USA. I've also seen other youtubers in Japan and all that I follow tour USA and one of the things they were surprised to see the most is all the homeless, no matter where you go in USA there are always homeless everywhere, which for someone who doesn't live here, they don't think of USA as place of homeless but it's bad here. However despite all the shootings and violence and issues in USA, your chance of actually getting shot or even seeing a shooting is still so incredibly small. I've never once seen anyone pull out a gun let alone shoot a gun in public in my life, despite what seems like 10 mass shootings a week lately in USA, (We actually has 12 mass shootings in same week a few weeks ago, media only covered 2 of them, mass shootings are shootings involving over 3 victims)

That feminism, and secularism and thus the breakdown of the nuclear family, were the driving forces behind this demolition of a once great city & country?? That globalization and outsourcing of labour resulted in this heartbreaking ghetto of a once thriving economy? 😢😭

Those abandoned buildings aren’t on the outskirts; they’re in the city…it may not be downtown, but it’s still the city

Another video with smiles from start to finish... thank for sharing! If you get to Nashville, holler ! We'd love to say hello from a fan. ~Ed and Shantel.

I love this video! ❤

Thanks for making these videos, my brother used to go to “the ghetto” often to shoot free music videos of artists from the area to give them something they otherwise couldn’t pay for. Sometimes it was really dangerous, but he had passion for it. It’s definitely changed a bit since then

I’m glad that you got to see this video. I’ve wanted to make this for a long time, but it looks like my audience and don’t like to watch the same things.

@@OrientalPearl some of us are just casual KZbin viewers and just look at whatever is recommended when we open the app. I do admit, I clicked on your language one and then it just autoplayed to more language, so I didn’t know about these other videos 😅 will watch more now!
