    You defiantly need to see where you are from Greenfield village to watch a move in the Imax theater.

    Just don't be defiant when they tell you to give the glasses back.

    At least that's what I would do.
    8 Mile Rd is nothing more than the Northern boundary of the City of Detroit. No big rap stuff happening there. Just a lot of topless bars.

    Re: Detroit bound...any suggestions?

    Also grew up in a little suburb just outside of Detroit.

    Yeah, Fashionable Ferndale and Royal Oak are the best spots.

    8 mile road is singularly unexciting.

    If you see a lot of burned buildings and grafitti, lock your car doors. There are some places that you probably don't want to be loitering at night, lol.

    Keep in mind that Detroit isn't what it used to be right now. The recession has smashed it HARD.

    .
    you just decribed a big % of south of 8 mile there. you can find gragitti and burnt out buildings any area you got to. but you dont have to be too worried in the city 95% of the crime isnt random its between people that know eachother.

    have you found out what area youll be going to yet?

    Re: Detroit bound...any suggestions?

    Hey, I grew up in the car-jacking era, lol.
    Like I said, though...it's pretty gloomy there, now, and it's not the place I knew, as a result. I never trust desperate people.
