So I’m from Flint, Michigan, about 66 miles north of Detroit with very similar problems of crime, arson, murder, blight, and the list goes on and\u00a0on. Since moving to Detroit I haven’t really felt like a newcomer or outsider.<\/p>\n

Honestly, I’ve just felt like I moved to a bigger (and more widely known) version of Flint, about 5x bigger in fact. While both cities have a similar history one being the\u00a0Motor City\u00a0<\/em>and the other\u00a0Vehicle City\u00a0<\/i>one thing I haven’t been able to understand about Detroit is Detroiters.<\/p>\n

\"really<\/p>\n

and finally<\/p>\n

5. If you ask if they’re (REALLY) from Detroit or one of the suburbs<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"respect<\/p>\n

….and I’m done<\/strong><\/p>\n
