Guess I'm the young one here, since I've never even heard of it. The rest of what he said all still applies though! Might want to go a town or two further than Farmington for the really nice parts of town these days.
You want to know what Detroit is like. Watch this youtube video. The city looks like something out of a scifi move, a post apocalyptic WWIII America.

So you've never been there? Got it.
The OP specifically asked about the Downtown area. There areas in those videos are nowhere near Downtown. Detroit is a large city, if you are working Downtown you will not see areas like that.
like 4 blocks, and at night around midnight or 1 am you have to shut your self in your apartment when the tweakers start coming out of the sewer systems looking for people to rob and beat down for meth money.
Detroit is dying, and the best thing to do is avoid it altogether. Life is too short.
I'm 25.Pretty sure you're older than me (or near the same age, I'm 28) and I've been there when it was open. Closed in 93... used to be a big deal!
Yeah, whatever, ignore it. That clown has some personal issue that he's been spouting off about for years.It's cool to talk shit about Detroit because you read about it on the Internet. Its so funny when those people turn out to not have a single clue about what they're talking about.
The Downtown area is lovely. Eastern Market is one of my favorite stops. I still remember being a kid and seeing a cow running through the streets of Detroit because he escaped from the slaughterhouse lol
You can buy property in Detroit for like $278. It's a good deal for the land in 100 years.

That is not true. My Grandmother basically lives Downtown, there has never been an incidents of Hobos beating people for crack money. The cops are VERY prominent downtown and people are always around. You don't have to lock yourself in anywhere....and at 1am the city is still going.
I have no idea where you are pulling this info from. Most spots in Detroit don't even close until around 4am. People are still out and about.
Downtown is literally the safest area of Detroit.
Lol (not laughing at the gma being shot, just the irony of statements - let that be clear)!
My Grandmother basically lives Downtown
Someone shot my Great Aunt
I thought i heard they devolped it with condo's or something on it awhile back?
Lol (not laughing at the gma being shot, just the irony of statements - let that be clear)!
And if you bothered to read the article, you would see that she does not live Downtown.
The assholes are out in full force in this thread, I guess.
Great Aunt != Grandma
Neither of you can read, I guess.
Oh dang, you right. I just took KT's post for granted since he quoted you and I didn't read who the victim was. One point for SheHateMe. Still funny though (the irony!) because doesn't she live in Detroit as well?
I know nothing of Detroit except for the Red Wings; just could not help but think of that thread when I saw a certain someone talking about Detroit and safety. /shrug
KT
This discussion is about downtown.
My Grandmother lives in Corktown.
My Great Aunt does not leave anywhere near Downtown.
Avoiding the question, that's cool.
