Matt, I think Detroit has a distinctive culture, history and architecture as well as the city's overall beauty!

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

Agreed!

[@dennisdaniels2992]

Detroit is a town, rich in history and tradition!

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

Yes, sir! Very proud to be from Michigan and Detroit.

[@barbarakb8847]

Belle Isle in the 1960s, good memories. Had a boat at the Detroit Yacht Club-hydroplane races, JL Hudson fireworks, marvelous bridge from the Detroit side. Love the way the Island looks now!

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

Thanks for sharing! I wish I could time travel and see Detroit back in the day. But as time goes by it almost feels like that as they restore so many old buildings. Thanks for the comment!

[@katherinespencer2633]

My old hometown, and we spent many weekends at Belle Isle! Love that place..still miss it.

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

Sounds like you a due for a Detroit vacation! Tons of fun stuff to do!

[@4knanapapa]

Back in the 30s my mom and dad moved to Detroit from northern Michigan, dad worked for Chevrolet and mom as a beautician, they talked often how preAC people would take blankets and pillows to belle isle to sleep on hot summer nights.

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

It's so beautiful there! Much love!

[@dennisdaniels2992]

I want to state unequivocally that downtown Detroit is safer and cleaner than San Francisco and Los Angeles. I not only compared crime stats by zip code but I also live here and frequent the downtown area.

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

Thanks for the feedback! I feel safe in Detroit, just like any other big city. You need to be smart. Which is part of city living!

[@BlueTickCH]

. Have visited detroit once , I can say it's downtown was a lot more safe" and cleaner than civic center downtown sf

[@004Black]

Matt! You didn’t talk about the DOSSIN GREAT LAKES MUSEUM! What? It’s a gem of Great Lakes maritime history.

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

Cool spot but not on the island! I will keep it in mind for future videos.

[@debbieneel8344]

[@kisamekinghoshigaki6116]

[@jasoncarbary862]

You should do a video on Mount Clemens and the historic homes.

[@jimsquire9048]

What happened to the Dobson Great Lakes Museum With the ship wheelhouse built into it?

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

Not sure?

[@sharmaeabrams]

❤️ Belle lsle!.. Detroit, MI

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

[@MsOneFreeSpirit]

I love Belle Isle... it's 5.3 miles

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

Me too!

[@Detroit923]

Left out the giant slide, im sure you seen it out there lol

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

Lol I totally wanted a full section on the GIANT SLIDE but we ran out of time.

[@Psalm_107.31]

Just watched comp of people flopping down the slide lol thats how I learned of Belle isle.

[@MrJVisionz]

I'm a photographer here in the city and I been inside the basement speak easy.. pretty cool. You can see the filtration systems and things

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

Yeah the stories about that are pretty crazy!

[@patriciapritchett5071]

Very informative video!. Loved it.

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the follow.

[@dennisdaniels2992]

You said you helped a lot of clients to sell and buy their homes as well, Matt?

[@dennisdaniels2992]

With the team of real estates as well, Matt?

[@GEN_X_]

Are you a local? Because if you were, you wouldnt have left off the "Hipster Beach" Lagoon and sandbars on the north end of Belle Isle just down from the golf course. That is one of the BEST spots on Belle Isle, but hey... only locals know about it ;)

[@teztiment]

Shhhhh. Lol

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

I have been to Hipster Beach several times. I recommend Detroit Outpost, they are great. You can take the Kayaks over that way.

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

@teztiment ... exactly. lol jk. Reminds me of a music fest I went to years ago. It was very small at the time. When I first got there I kept saying how great it was. This random guy came up to me and was like "SHHHH only tell cool people". Starting to feel that way about Detroit as a whole. Lol JK. Spread love. #saynicethingsaboutdetroit

[@GEN_X_]

@@teztiment haha yes its hard to find either way

[@GEN_X_]

@@LIVINGINDETROIT Excellent! I used to paddleboard there alot and hang out on the sandbars in the lagoon

[@michaelmanville89]

Sup Matt. Nice work.

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

Hey hey! Thanks! How's it going?!

[@dtowngreatest3880]

There are some still on the island but they are jus garden snakes but some are pretty big

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

😅

[@mannatgill9144]

Great 👍👍

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

Thank you! Cheers! What a cool spot!

[@dennisdaniels2992]

How did you start your career, Matt?

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

In real estate? I started with nothing just like anyone else. I used social media to create value to as many people as I could and it worked. Basically just worked really hard and tried to do right by people and the rest figured itself out. I love what I do, I get to help clients sell and buy their homes, and our team get better. I am very lucky. Why do you ask?

[@lafawnodon1889]

Added Botanical Future Avatar Style Garden Motto!!!"

[@Justinsuhbahka]

Upper peninsula Michigan is more beautiful and more safe

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

It is very beautiful up there. Love visiting.

[@dtwgirl4u]

Belle Isle is not unsafe

[@dennisdaniels2992]

Matt, you are real estate?

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

Yes sir! Any questions?

[@lafawnodon1889]

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

That would be cool!

[@Psalm_107.31]

Wtf happend to Detroit. I mean I've heard the songs we almost lost Detroit. Ik that it was once prosperous and had a sudden decline. But seeing the beauty there makes it all the more sad and now I wish to brush up on its history.

[@chrispy1065]

Democrats have stolen its greatness

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

It is very interesting to dive into the history of Detroit. It is a great city and will continue to be. The present and future are bright!

[@annstapleton4404]

Talk less, show more and stop using your hands so much!!!😂

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

Thanks for the view. My parents and managers back in the day always told me that as well. Good suggestions we will consider. Then energy and hands this is for sure hard for me. I am passionate and that is who I am. Thanks for the feedback. Will consider.

[@warkami9869]

Agree

[@pattywise2842]

Unless you are signing for the deaf community there is no need to constantly wave your hands around. So unprofessional.. you only need to move your mouth.

[@dtowngreatest3880]

It use 2b called snake island bcuz it was infested with snakes and they put a bunch of hogs on the island 2 eat the snakes

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

That is wild. Not a big fan of snakes, it must of worked because I have never seen one there!

[@tonysteeleebw01]

It's pronounced Bell Lyle.

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

Haha sounds good.

[@maryellaperry8882]

💙💙💙 GREATEST ISLE, OUTSIDE OF NYC CENTRAL PARK. NO LONGER OWNED BY DETROIT

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

If it is State owned or City owned I am happy it is improving. A true gem! Agreed?!

[@davidmarks8318]

Staying in the suburbs. Been carjacked twice in detroit. Don't kid yourself. It's a f s h

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

Interesting... Sorry to hear about your bad karma. Just like many big cities, you can't leave your car in the right place. Not super smart.

[@davidmarks8318]

@LIVINGINDETROIT wtf are you f talking about? I was leaving a restaurant once. Leaving a bar the other time. I'm plenty street smart m f

[@stevensabowski2908]

make shure u stayout lof that nasty ass water

[@LIVINGINDETROIT]

The water is tested like all lakes and public beaches in Michigan and other areas. Just like many bodies of water you don't want to swim after large rains and floods. However it is mostly clean or as clean as most fresh water in the country at this point!
