My wife and I are traveling to the US around Christmas, first staying a couple of nights at Sonder Gabriel Richard in Downtown Detroit before heading on to NYC. We were initially unbothered by what we considered overblown and outdated stereotypes about the area.
Now my wife is hearing from coworkers and family, including family who live in Detroit, about the grave danger she’s in if she stays in downtown.I’m irritated by the anxiety these people have spawned out of nothing. Maybe I’m naive but my gut still says that they’re blowing things out of proportion, and at worst it’s a little seedy around there.
Would any locals like to comment on how poor a choice we made staying in downtown Detroit as first time travellers to the US? We’re Australian if that matters somehow.
Thugs? Why not just use the N word with the hard R next time? You should probably just stay out of Detroit if you are afraid of us unevolved degenerates that will stab you. Shit, stay out of fucking Michigan.
Also, who has time for knives? You’ll get shot before you get stabbed. You seem like you would enjoy Toledo more anyway.
