kay...check this out. My friends and I were driving home from the bar....in a cab because we are responsible. Anyway...the cab driver is bringing me home first. We are driving down the side street and this guy stops us in the middle of the street and has a baseball bat running straight at us. The cab driver puts it in reverse and we are screaming go. An SUV pulls up and hits the guy, the guy then jumps in the truck. ( I guess his friend did not mean to hit him). And they start chasing us. I mean we are going a hundred miles an hour down Moross wondering why these guys are chasing us. I tell my friends duck down, they might have a gun. They chase us all the way to Grosse Pointe...all the while we are calling 911. We pull up in a gas station and thank God that the Grosse Pointe cops are already there. We have four Grosse Pointe cop cars and one Detroit that come. These fools...after all that..say it was all a big misunderstanding. My girlfriend who lives in downtown Detroit is crying and saying that she is moving out of the city now because of this. I mean she was going absolutely crazy. She is defintitely moving out now. It wasa very scary situation, but I ain't moving because of no fools...but she is. I thought we were going to die tonight...really. Those white guys looked like crack heads. But I still am not giving up on the city. | ||

Ho-lee she-it. That is some crazy stuff. Where did this happen? East side? What the hell? A guy chasing a cab with a baseball bat? What happened with the cops? They arrest the crazy crackahs? Sorry to hear about this, but you can assure your girlfriend this is not the norm. Glad to hear you're not moving out. Sounds more like something that would happen in rural meth lab country.  | ||

What a bunch of whimps you are going to move because some crazy people chased you hahaha Shit the worst thing that ever happened to me was when some old crazy white lady in Brighton kept ramming her cart into our car and threatening to kill us with a gun in her purse. OR when I and a co-worker were down South and some guy yelled at us for being a bi-racial couple in a restaurant. YEAH If I was you guys I would run and hide MOVE before someone really gets you. What a silly reason to get scared and move. | ||

It's safe in SW Detroit, for the most part. Must be that proximity to Grosse Pointe that changes everything. | ||

I probably would have ran him over myself. But then again, I had my fill of the city of Detroit. The 1st place I lived in, I was woken up to the sound of gunfire in the alley outside my window. Then I moved to another place and got woken up to gunfire outside my window. Then I moved to another place and walked in the alley to take out the trash and a guy was shooting heroin behind my place. A year later in still another place, a hooker was squatting on a guy's face in my driveway, while around the corner a guy was selling drugs in the street to passing cars. The homeless guy pissing on my car was the last straw. I don't need what Detroit has to offer. | ||

Detroitsuperfly, Maybe you should try some different neighborhoods. | ||

Superfly..... I don't even know what to tell you. Sounds like you live at the Normandie or something in the middle of the hood. You might want to choose a little bit more wisely when choosing a home. | ||

Nice advice based on an assumption, Vizion. two places I lived were by Wayne State. Another was SW. Another was near Belle Isle. | ||
Viziondetroit Member Username: Viziondetroit Post Number: 1138 Registered: 11-2003 |
my bad.... were you correcting me and letting me know those are good neighborhoods? | ||
Detroitsuperfly Member Username: Detroitsuperfly Post Number: 91 Registered: 07-2005 |
They are supposed to be "culture" areas of Detroit. Thusly they are supposed to be areas that will attract people. Understand? Sorry, pally. There are no good neighborhoods in Detroit. There are only less bad ones. Its simply not a livable city. I've lived in several major US cities and the city of Detroit is a toilet by comparison. Sorry to offend you, but that is reality. | ||

Quote: "Sorry, guys. I was trying to be a smart ass; the whole post sounds like baiting." Sounds to me like a few more pioneers got a dose of reality. Just because you haven't had an instance, doesn't mean it won't happen. The probabilities are much higher. I keep reading testimony about how safe it is in the inner city. Bars on Windows? Don't go out after dark? If you don't lock your doors you're just asking for it? The close to 400 homicides a year are real. They are happening as well as the other various crimes at a much higher rate than normal. Detroit is a long way from being a safe city. | ||

So move the fugg out supa, and leave this forum. Sounds like a bad case of sour grapes to me for one reason or another. I just find it funny how some of the 'new' people come into the city and no matter where they live, no matter how nice the area, they just always seem to have some bullshit happen to them. In cases like that, dont blame the city blame the common denominator that may be something ignorant that YOU are doing. And to call the city a toilet is a slap in the face and insult to those of us to either wants to live or have no choice to live here. You can keep the smart ass remarks to yourself. Personally I am sick of reading/ hearing them. Its bad enough we got LYard's ancient, archaic negative ass wasting his time posting here when he hasn't lived in the city in a hundred years. So you had a bad experience or two? Leave apparently what happened was so tragic that there is nothing someone can to change ya mind. And apparently 99% of the people on this forum are your polar opposite. Dont' bring your Detroit hate this way. We are not trying to hear it. (at least I know I am not)... That way there will be no unintentional offense that you have to apologize for... Funny, I have lived in the city my whole life and aside from a single incident that happened when i was 19 i have NEVER had anything bad happen to me no matter where i have been in the city. I have long ago come to the conclusion that people in this reason (and suburban whites especially) Do not know how to live in a major city. | ||

Bratt, seems to me these fucks were trying to "keep it real" for lack of better term. They said it was a big misunderstanding? What did they say? seems like you are leaving out some stuff. | ||

"So move the fugg out supa, and leave this forum" Looks like I hurt someone's feelings! "Sounds like a bad case of sour grapes to me for one reason or another." Sour grapes isn't even relevant here, dumbass! Its a matter of self preservation. Even in the "good" neighborhoods, there are bars on the windows and neighborhood watches. BTW- your entire babbling argument is based on nonsensical assumptions. I lived most of my life in the city. Think about why the city population has plummeted with every census. Think about why people dont want to even come into the city for entertainment. Its not cause its misunderstood. There is a reason for Detroit's bad rep. A VERY good reason. Why I love Detroit is for what it once was. Face it, what made Detroit great is LOOOONG gone. And sorry, you pathetic turd, I live in a major city right now. I had to move out of Detroit cause the economy is crap. I'm in Minneapolis. In an area that can only be described like the area near Belle Isle. No bars on the windows. Little crime. No car break ins. Thriving businesses. Black people and white people living next door to each other. You can walk in the park after dark w/o fear of getting shot. The thousands of people migrating out of the toilet that is Detroit yearly are proof that you are full of crap! And keep your black on white racism to yourself. Mmmmkay?
