Be afraid, very afraid of.................Detroit!

No, not the Tigers. (Though the Tigers do appear to be the real deal.) I mean of the city itself. Detroit is without a doubt the worst major city in the world. It's ugly, boring and unbarely unfun.



I was there with some friends this past weekend for the Red Sox/Tigers series and I just hated the city itself. Comerica Park was itself gorgeous but the rest of the city just didn't cut it. One of the people I was with described Detroit as wall-to-wall ghetto. I don't think that was accurate enough for me. I describe it as a ghost town. For those you sci-fi fans out there I'll compare to examples. For those of you out there who have seen the movie Serenity it's like when the crew reached the planet, Miranda, locked in Summer's mind to find everyone their dead and putrified. No one living, it's just empty. (Pictured below as the crew walks among the ruins)



Or when in Star Trek the crew landed on the planet and found just the kids there and no parents because the kids had killed them. Seriously walking to the park on Sunday morning we didn't pass more then four people and there weren't cars driving everywhere. It was just plain weird. And Detroit is in the middle of nowhere on top of it. All I could think about was how many jobs have been lost since the auto industry tanked. It was just really really depressing. There weren't any good restraunts or bars accept for around the stadium. I just couldn't wonder why anyone would want to live there. Even the casino's were depressing. Actual stuff coming tomorrow. (I can't say it won't be any less depressing then this because the score in the Red Sox/Yankee game is now 8-2 Yankees.)
