I'm really into driving and all, but I've been in Detroit a year ago and it sucked. The only good thing about it was the Henry Ford Museum and the fact that Canada is just across the border.
You probably don't know how it used to be (which is also very different from my grandfather's idea of "how it used to be"). I was there last year, but I was also there for 25 of the past 30 years and the change from when I was a kid is startling. "I recommend folks visit and check it out" is not something someone would have said about Detroit unironically for a long while.
The Henry Ford Museum isn't in Detroit...
It's metro detroit and less than 5 minutes from Detroit itself.
