Detroit Overview | An informative introduction to Detroit, Michigan

Detroit is a fascinating American city! Although it's nicknamed Motor City, there is a lot more to Detroit than simply its industrial heritage. In this video I briefy cover Detroits history, population, skyline as well as a few things that make Detroit unique. Thanks for watching : Detroit Overview | An informative introduction to Detroit, Michigan.

If you enjoy short geography overviews, here is a link to one of the primary books that inspired me to make this channel:

I left Detroit after the riots of '67. A terrible time in the city's history. I moved back 3 years ago. I couldn't happier to see the changes here! I honor all of you who remained here and kept the faith. I am sure it was't easy.

Native Detroiter here, you nailed a lot of the good stuff. You did your homework. I usually cringe when the same old cliches are covered. Follow up next with Corktown and the train station area. It’s an amazing addition to the story. Campus Martius is the true heart. Well done

I visited for a work assignment last month and got to stay 2 weeks. Detroit is an awesome city! Totally underrated. I love Detroit 😊

Born in Montreal but raised most of my life in Windsor, just across the river from Detroit. I love Detroit like its my own city, and know it like the back of my hand, especially downtown and southwest

I absolutely love Detroit! Americans talk smack of it, but it's an amazing city. There are worse cities in America. Regards from Brazil

salute from Bangkok by way of Cleveland. Detroit has always been a great American city that deserves far more national acclaim than it receives. it represents the Midwest well!

As a native Detroiter, thank you for such a wonderful narrative on my hometown! Much respect, my friend!

Detroit is easily one of Americas top 3 slept on cities. Thank you for representing the city well.

Great vid, but no Detroit Riverwalk. Currently ranked #1 for 3 years straight by USA today. Its Beautiful! It was extended to reach Belle Isle Park Bridge this year

I love being from Detroit and am very proud to represent it. Thank you for making this video, I wish it was longer so people can understand more of it's history and how it's literally risen from the ashes.

Detroit is a beautiful place and has come a long way in over a decade. People that talk bad about it clearly haven't been here in a long time or just never been. I moved back here in 2015

[NicksDynasty]

Proud to work in this city (Bases in DTW atleast)! It will return to its former glory! It's still a cool place now

[KennyLamTravel]

I've been to Detroit many many times since the 80s, saw its ups and downs! Amazing city and people! I am so happy it's making a nstroing come back.

I am really impressed with the new Hudson Tower project. Despite Detroit facing some tough times, the city is makin’ a remarkable comeback to which is breathing new life into it. I hope this is a positive sign for Detroit as it moves forward toward a brighter future.

Saw a show at the Fischer Theatre last week. Extraordinarily beautiful building. The architecture of peak Detroit is truly remarkable. It’s very clear that the city is entering a renaissance of sorts. I’ve never had a bad time there either.

I live in Downtown Detroit, I love it, so much to do, really nice people in my neighborhood, well kept, you nailed our great points on this. Another major one shortly opening is the masterfully restored Michigan Central Station campus by Ford, moving thousands of employees into it costing over a billion dollars. Its an amazing structure. We have an incredible riverfront also now. Vibrant arts and restaurant scene. Some gorgeous neighborhoods and some to stay away from. Overall it’s a great city, so interesting.

I can definitely vouch for everything you mentioned. I've been visiting Detroit on a regular basis for the last 15 years or so. It's definitely changed for the better during that time. Fifteen years ago, the downtown corridor was dead. Today, it's a incredible and vibrant place to hang out in. The Henry Ford Museum, is an absolutely fabulous Museum, with so much to see and do. And, as a motown music lover, Hitsville USA, is a must see. I love Detroit. She's seen her share of rough times, but she's on the rise. Totally agree, Detroit Airport, is awesome.

I been to the motor city twice and let me tell you: Detroit is the most unique city in the US and also my favorite city to visit. Detroit has so much to offer: beautiful architecture, international riverfront, many historical facts, music, and food. I want to go back again to visit and volunteer with their urban farming!
