Is Detroit a boring city? -

Do you find Detroit to boring, I feel theres only so much a person can do in Detroit, usually if i am looking for some entertainment, i have to leave Detroit and go into the suburbs. Mainly because there is not much to do in Detroit, especially if your not much into the sports scene here, the city is dangerous to point that one can not walk around and enjoy the fresh air without getting mugged (anytime of day), and the city is also a Ghosttown almost any day of the week (no one is ever on the street), also the highway system makes it so easy to just leave Detroit and go somewhere else. I am not trying to bash Detroit here, just wanted other peoples opinion on this? I know a lot of people who live in Detroit, but they all go into the suburbs to have a good day/night/evening out on the town.

Yes and No, clearly it depends on who you ask, I am sort of in your boat, If i want to do something, its technically going to be in the suburbs, I often go to Novi to find some entertainment, but I live in Downtown Detroit, after a while the Casinos, Greektown gets a bit boring, wasnt very much into the sports scene either. But if you think about it, the suburbs are an extension of Detroit, I do find Detroit proper to be boring, but due to the great highway system, I think it dosent matter.

You have a point. Part of the problem is that Detroit s economy is so poor. It s not necessarily that Detroit is boring, its just that inner city Detroit is so poor that there are few people there who are spending money (and thus not much to do and spend money on). The reason there is more going on in the suburbs is because the people are wealthier, and thus more able to spend money on activities which you would find entertaining.

no detroit is not a boring city. theres so much action. detroit is considered the most dangerous city in all of the U.S. so if seeing someone get shot with a sub-machine gun in the face is boring then you must have no soul
