Thanks so much for uploading this.

The cobo center still looks the same after so many years wow.

[@leonarddurecki5988]

I rode the people mover when it was free in 1987, it was the same direction as the video with the Detroit River to the right.

4:26 Hiawatha Observation car?

[@dlcluley]

anindra pratama. Maybe. The Landsdowne was a RR ferry turned into a floating restaurant. I think those two cars came from CN, but they may have been Milwaukee originally.

The renaissance center didn’t have the band at the top back then.

[@Knightmessenger]

wow, so much has changed. And the original announcer was the best.

[@dlcluley]

It has been quite a few years since I have ridden it. Was thinking I should do a before/after video, but I guess they go the other way now.

[@Knightmessenger]

It started going clockwise in the summer of 2008. You could always record it going backward (to keep the same position as this video) and play it in reverse.

[@Knightmessenger]

​@dlcluley it switched back to going counterclockwise.

[@gavinstevenson4379]

They switched the direction

[@NixillShadowFox]

They're about to switch it back.

Not moving very many people.

Most of them were probably at home recovering from gunshot injuries ...

@@Bedroomeyze : Have street lights been restored in Highland Park? It would be nice to be able to see who is shooting at me!

[@ginger-bread_man]

@@Bedroomeyze : OK good, back when I drove by there on my way to Hamtramck it was a dark gangster town ...

[@ginger-bread_man]

@@Bedroomeyze : OK, that's good to know but Highland Park and Hamtramck are surrounded by Detroit. Highland park is dangerous I know. I am sure there are some nice parts of Detroit like you said but overall Detroit has a crime problem. That cannot be denied. When I used to visit the retail outlets even in the suburbs there were so many security cars patrolling - a clear sign of the crime rate.I visited Great Lakes crossing, Southfield movie theater .... all the same - Detroit's crime spreads out!

[@ginger-bread_man]

@@Bedroomeyze : Detroit has the *2nd highest crime rate* of all cities in America. If you want to be in denial then that is your choice but it does not change the fact that you are living in a gangster town and your leaders have failed you!
